Trip down to Jackson, WY through Yellowstone and Teton Park part 2

Once you get into the geyser basin part of Yellowstone park you are able to walk out on elevated boardwalks over the many different hot springs, geysers, mud pots, etc.

I always find myself drawn to the trees that have been burnt by the geothermal events. The transitions from an almost bone type color to deep brown blacks. Very intriguing.

This photo is of a tree stumps that have been mostly bleached out.

Trip down to Jackson, WY through Yellowstone and Teton Park part 1

My wife and I drove on down to Jackson, WY a few weeks ago. Had a great time and immensely enjoyed both Yellowstone and Teton Parks. Just amazing.

Well I grabbed a few photos along the way.

This first part is from Yellowstone park not far from the city of West Yellowstone. I pulled off into the viewing area because I thought I saw a moose. But, that just turned out to be a log in the grass.

All was for not because across the Madison River was a skeleton of a Bison. Pretty cool.
