Hikes & Trips Photo Album


One of the many fires we saw on our moving/trip to Idaho in 2003		A stream just inside the north entrance to Yellowstone. We had to detour as the west entrance to the park was closed due to fire.

Our flower, the Indian Paint Brush. The Paint Brush became our flower when we were volunteering on a prairie restoration project back in Minnesota.		Grazing Elk are a very common sight in the high prairies in northern Yellowstone.

More Elk, just off the side of the road. Many people park to watch and take pictures, a few not so smart people walk out to the Elk. Usually the Elk just run away but once in a while a Bull or a mother will attack.		Steaming and boiling pots are found all over the park due to the geo-thermal activity just below the surface of the volcanic caldera which is Yellowstone.

The volcanic minerals and various bacteria which thrive in the hot waters of this pool give it its unusual though beautiful colors.		It is often cloudy and cool in Yellowstone, surrounded by mountains and high in altitude.
