Janine has just finish updating our page of Yellowstone National Park Photos from our spring trip. If you were following the blog during that time, you will probably recognize many of the photos.
Back to our spring photos - this was five separate photos of the Upper Geyser Basin, the Old Faithful Geyser and Inn and the other Park Service hotels in this popular part of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
The Yellow-Bellied Marmots around here are similar looking, but have different coloring from the Hoary Marmot we have in Alaska.
As prevalent as Elk are in the fall in Yellowstone, I thought finding calves would be as easy as finding buffalo calves. (more…)
This was exciting - I had never seen a badger in my life. I found this den in the hills behind Mammoth in Yellowstone National Park.

A field of buffalo at sunset or sunrise is an image I envisioned from the very beginning of our visit to Yellowstone. (more…)
Middle Geyser Basin right at sunset, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
Yesterday while hiking around in this steep canyon looking for landscape opportunities, I stumbled across the remains of a magnificent 6 x 6 bull elk! Predators most not have found the carcass as even the leg bones were completely intact and connected to the body. The rack lacked velvet, he must have died last fall or winter, it makes you wondered what could have happen to such a huge bull in his prime. Maybe he was past his prime and died of old age. (more…)
The Mystic Falls trail is a great little 4 mile loop that should be high on any Yellowstone visitors must do lists. (more…)
On previous visits, I have wandered around and photographed the outside of the historic Old Faithful Inn, but never bothered to step inside. (more…)
Two days ago I posted a photo of the Grand Prismatic Spring. This is a photo of the water running off the spring and into the Firehole River. (more…)
The Doublet Pool in the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

A lone visitor walks along the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday. What an amazing, colorful hot spring this is! (more…)
What would a trip to Yellowstone National Park be without a photo of the Old Faithful Geyser! I now have a bunch. That is the famous and historic Old Faithful Inn on the right. Look how empty the boardwalk is in the morning, I think there are 3 people down there - nothing like the afternoon. This is one image out of 4 that will eventually make a panoramic of the Upper Geyser Basin.
Morning Glory Pool has to be one of the most colorful features in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. It is a nice easy mile walk down a paved trail from Old Faithful.
Buffalo calves are really fun to watch. They often stand or lay around doing nothing, then without warning, they will take off running in circles, jumping and leaping about like they just won the lottery - it can be very entertaining!
This is looking at a group of bison and straight into the sun at sunrise in Yellowstone National Park on Thursday - the sun is just above the frame. The below freezing temperatures enhanced the mist and fog.

We moved up to Yellowstone on Tuesday, and yesterday (Wednesday) we were fortunate enough to find this coyote den with 9 (yes nine) pups! They were so much fun to watch. We even watched the mom nurse. Here the pups are chasing after their mom - whenever she was close, they were trying to nurse.
I can’t believe we are already hitting the road again this weekend. We didn’t really allow for enough time in the office, but that’s ok, we can’t miss this time of year! I’m really excited about our upcoming travels. (more…)
