YELLOWSTONE & GRAND TETONS

This gallery is ...Montana's door to 2.2 million acre Yellowstone National Park opens through the "Gallatin Hills" of  the Gallatin National Forest.  Once in the park, you see "Steamy Flowers"as you meander to "Minerva Hotsprings" and pause to see the intricate sculpture of  limestone Travertine terraces at a " Minerva Closeup".   "Fort Yellowstone", once red roofed army barracks, now offers comfort, park information, and lodging for park workers.  From anywhere in this geyser country, you can see "Boiling Mud" and catch Old Faithful bursting steam every 79 minutes.
     Though "Gibbon Falls" roars, an "Elk in Reflection" can be found just around the corner.  The uniqueness of the Grand "Canyon of Yellowstone" convinced congress to make Yellowstone the first National Park in America.  "Upper Yellowstone Falls" pours through valleys to plains where "Buffalo on the Yellowstone" can be seen roaming freely.  The Lower Yellowstone River's "Artist Point" is among the most visited sights in the world.  You must look carefully to see a "Bear Among the Aspens" as they, too, call Yellowstone their home. 
     Sunset on the "Piedmont Lakes" characterizes the east fork of the Yellowstone River.  The "Grand Tetons at Jackson Lake"  coaxes you out of beautiful Yellowstone.
