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.
it’s kinda small, is it up on your website yet? I think that is interesting how the area around Old Faithful is clear of trees while the rest is forested.
Unfortunately it is too small to really see, and it isn’t on our website yet.
I think all the steam and hot water run off, not to mention the hot subsurface of the earth and that area prevent trees from growing. It is a unique environment.
