To Twin Falls Idaho, and YellowStone

Our first rest stop, maybe not the best choice??

Crusing at 85 MPH, we we were often passed

Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls Idaho

Lots of water

The falls made lots of noise

Last picture of the falls

In YellowStone, No problem with Buffalo over there

but they think they own the road

All lanes of the road

and they do

no one argues with them

Lots of water in YellowStone

Lots and lots of water falls

MOVIE: Lower valley waterfall

Eruptions are 1 hr and 38 minutes apart + or - 5 min

The start

Not sure how many feet; but high

YellowStone Inn lobby

at a special low cost of $499 per night

it was not our hotel

We stopped here and ate lunch

a nice restful spot

Friendly bear at our hotel

Next morning our only long range sighting of ELK

We then visit some hot basins

Lots of Boiling water

Lots of steam

Lots and lots of steam

MOVIE: The basin of steam

The basin guyers

You had to stay on the walkway

Some very narley looking water

Of course my wife has to check temperature

Nothing can grow in this basin

I like the mountains in the distance

The Northan part of the park

Movie: Higher valley waterfall

North Entrance roadside lawn mower

We stopped here for another homemade lunch

One Marment kept watch near us

The road sides still had plenty of snow

lots of snow

There were some really tremoundious water falls

MOVIE: a movie helps to capture the valley

A Panaroma required to capture the entire valley

Another creekside rest stop

Traffic jam on way back to our hotel

Last morning in YellowStone

A final basin with a very deep cristal clear pool

It was called Safire Pool for a reason

YellowStone boat arena

The lake, however, was still frozen solid

Leaving YellowStone you enter the Tetons Nat. Park

I love these mountains

a lot

Thats about as close as I want to get to snow

There were flashing lights warning of Bear, but we saw none

Closest we got to a Elk (Gas station statue)

Nothing but the best for my wife on Mother’s day

After you drive 2,608 miles, you kill a lot of bugs

Return to Vacations
