Thanks for looking.
But before the pictures, here are links to two more sets of photos. Yep, this is a trilogy. Or a triptych. See all three for the price of one !!
Wyoming ... we passed thru Wyoming on the way in and out of Yellowstone. Some pretty scenery.
Colors in Yellowstone are pretty weird and a bit scary. You must see this.
You know it's Yellowstone
The classic pics that tell you where you are. For example, a fly fisherperson near a geyser.
And here a bison stands by a river near geysers.
Or a geyser pouring into the river.
Or some geese at dawn.
You get the idea
Mud geyers.
More fly fisherpeople
More geysers
A hot spring by Yellowstone Lake
And dead trees in geyser fields
Here is an extinct mud volcano which as turned to travertine
And a travertine face
Waterfalls
And Cyndi enjoying this waterfall
Rock Faces and Rivers
My favorite
Or maybe this is my favorite
And more fly fisherpeople. Cyndi in the distance
Obsidian Cliffs
We had to stop here, where molten lava of the right type poured out forming these cliffs of largely obsidian. We had to just look, not take ... for if we and everyone were to take a piece of obsidian home, well in about 3 or 4 hundred million years there would be no obsidian left for our descendants to enjoy.
Oh well, I find plenty of obsidian when I walk in the desert near Santa Fe.
Cyndi found a piece of obsidian she wants to take home. I think she is pointing at the entire cliff. Thank god I had seen the "No Collecting" sign.
Encrusted Obsidian
Tourists
Another way to tell you are in Yellowstone is by the tourists. We were in the off season, so tourists were relatively scarce.
My Favorite Tourist
As I said, it was the off-season, so when we arrived at Yellowstone's least popular campsite at 9:00am, we were able to find an open site. The last open site. The one next to the toilet. The pit toilet.
Actually, it was fine and nearby we had a nice view of Lewis Lake. Fisherpeople here, too

I'll end with the best.
