Day Fifteen, Road Trip/Cruise — Yellowstone Bison 2 comments
The most common animal observed in Yellowstone National Park is bison.
However, we didn’t see any elk, which are the most common animal in the park.
Bison, lying in the dirt near the river, begins to scratch his chin.

Day Fifteen, Road Trip/Cruise — Stupid People Do Stupid Things 2 comments
We drove through Yellowstone National Park (more postings on that in later postings), and I spotted this tourist
in the face of a bison. With my telephoto lens, I took this photo titled “Stupid People Do Stupid Things.”

Day Fifteen, Road Trip/Cruise — Entering Yellowstone National Park 5 comments
Once entering the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, we followed vehicles on a twisting two-lane road (closed December-April).
We first stopped to video waterfalls just to the road’s left. After a bit of research,
I was able to identify the falls as Rustic Falls on Glen Creek.
Hot Springs
Devils Thumb
Mammoth Hot Springs with travertine terraces, which are formed from limestone.
Thermal water rises through the limestone, carrying high amounts of dissolved limestone (calcium carbonate).Â
At the surface, carbon dioxide is released, and calcium carbonate is deposited, forming travertine,
the chalky white mineral forming the rock of travertine terraces. The formations resemble a cave
turned inside out. Colorful stripes are formed by thermophiles or heat-loving organisms.
