elkoholic Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just got back from exploring Yellowstone National Park and thought that I would post some pictures. It is a 6 to 7 hour drive from my house to the park so I don't go very often so each time it brings out a new bit of wonder and amazement. I took my son and granddaughter with me and since it was the granddaughter's first trip to Yellowstone it was great to see the excitement she showed. There was very little forest fire smoke there which along with the mild temps (mostly in the 60s) made the trip very pleasant. One thing of note is the ever increasing number of tourist and the percentage of them from other countries. If you go (and you should) I would recommend a mid September to mid October visit or if a summer trip is more feasible, than early mornings (to beat the rush) is the best time of day.

hammerforged Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Loved my time in Yellowstone - my only regret is that I did not take my fly fishing gear along. Beautiful pics, makes me want to go back right now. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wow. Amazing scenery. I have never been out there either, but need to pack up the kids & head that way at some point. There are just some things in nature that you can't see any where else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Great place for sure. That mineral flow has changed a lot since 2014. It used to look like an old mans face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
