The many springs and geysers
in the park are well known.
The colored waters
here are probably caused by minerals seeping
into the water. In the
background, you can also
see regrowth of trees following a major fire
that ravaged much of the park several years ago.
The interesting colors
also appear on the ground next to these geysers.
This picture is from the "lower geyser basin".
The main attraction
is "Old Faithful", which appears steaming in the
background. In contrast to the well-timed faithful,
a less known geyser, whose cone appears in the
foreground (lower left corner), attains a greater
height.
.
His Oldness is located in the "upper geyser basin",
where there are many geysers, springs, and in this
case a fabulous colored pool.
A particularly colorful spring.
In the "Mammoth hot springs" region of the park,
calcium springs have formed terraces.
The Yellowstone river carvs a splendid canyon.
The canyon is several miles long and is
surrounded by a rich forest.
The canyon is also well known for two majestic
waterfalls. The second one didn't come out well
in my pictures.
Many scenic attractions surround the Yellowstone lake.
There is yet another geyser basin next to the
lake. This colored pool seems to be fed by a spring.
Or this colored pool.
Yellowstone lake appears behind my sister in this photo.
My sister got very excited from this chipmunk.
All through the vacation, whenever she met one
of these guys she'd begin by taking its picture,
and then continue by bending over, giggling,
singing, dancing, you name it!
We also saw elk several times.
Although we weren't positive if they
were actually elk!
Saw elk many times.
