Time for the morning sweep out! Love those Red Chairs!
Plenty o’ snow over Dunraven Pass.
Low overcast makes it surreal!
I can handle the wildflowers.
It won’t rain today.
Looking back from The Narrows toward Yellowstone picnic area.
Even buffalo dung and dandelions look beautiful on a day like today.
A wider view up Yellowstone River from above the Narrows.
Apollinaris Spring is running again. This was a Yellowstone Park Foundation restoration project. Yes I rejoined, 15% off store purchases. They do some great work including field seminars,
This is one of the first roadside museums on National Register of Historic sites. Unfortunately many used this information to steal specimens from Obsidian Ridge.
Roaring Mountain is roaring a bit more this year, probably due to the abundance of water.
The days are already running together. This is what it is like to find the brink of Lower Falls before anyone else.
I experienced a thunderous avalanche of snow breaking off from near the falls. The ground shook. Awesome! (And I don’t use that term a lightly as the younger generation.)
There are many much smaller scale falls to enjoy along the north rim, as well.
What can I say?
Yes, you should take in EVERY view point, even the ones that warn you that you may die doing this at 8000 feet if you have health problems.
Is this the stairway to heaven?
This is it! No need for church.
The threat of thunderstorms forces a change of plans. Snow Pass will have to wait for another day. Shorter trails such as the Artist Paintpots prevail.
BTW, this is only a fraction of what one sees in a day in Yellowstone! There is much more I took on HD video, such as a number of bears. Of course, most was seen without looking through the viewfinder. These are reminders of a memorable day.
