Day 15 Wednesday 9-23-15 Yellowstone North Loop

 Once again the morning temp was 32* but the humidity is very low so the temps don't have a bite.  Daytime temps have been in the mid 70s and quite comfortable.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.


Linda said "I'm not taking any more Buffalo pictures",  Let's see how long that lasts.

We weren't in the park long and we spotted a bull elk in the high grass in a meadow.  He was keeping his eye on his harem.  We pulled into a turnout on a bluff to get the pictures.  Just as we started moving to leave another bull came up the bluff then headed toward the herd. 

 

 

 



 OPPS! Buffalo pictures... Who took  'em?...Wasn't me... I was driving.













There are steam vents along the roadside.  Many are just a small 2 to 3 inch hole.

At some places the smell of sulfur (rotten eggs) is overwhelming.

Mammoth Hot Springs area

On most of these formations there is a very thin layer of water washing down continuously,

Many trees in this area have twisted trunks and branches



it may look like snow but it's not.
