Yellowstone Part 2

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Upper Falls

Lower Falls

As we were driving from the Fishing Bridge RV campground to the Grand Canyon, we encountered a buffalo traffic jam which held up traffic for probably 30 minutes.  We talked to a guy who said he got caught after dark for over an hour and didn't even get to enjoy watching them.  

Why does a buffalo cross the road?

We went north another day to see Mammoth Hot Springs.  On the way, I finally got to see a big horn sheep!  Cars were stopped on the road (not much of an accident hazard...).  

Mammoth Hot Springs is far larger than I envisioned in my wildest thoughts.  We drove around and up the slope behind it so I could get photos shooting down and across.

The ground looks solid but it is not and there are warning signs everywhere telling visitors to stay on the road or the walkways.  Somewhere in the park there's a sign stating that 12 people have died from breaking through and dropping into the scalding water.
