Tour of Yellowstone Park, An 11 Hour Tour

These photos are only from my camera, will add cell phone photos eventually, also will dig out the names of the water falls, etc. Not that it matters, we just enjoyed the experience and learned so much, just a lot to keep straight. We are so lucky to be here, the tour was a God send, our motor home would have not be allowed in many areas, no parking, crazy crowded. Paul was happy to observe instead of drive. It is good.


Our guide, John, at the Lower Terrace of the Mammoth Hot Spring		.

The Chocolate Pot, a mud pot that is not on any maps, the heat turns the chemicals this color

This geyser erupts continously

Old Faithful Lodge Lobby, what a grand old hotel

Old Faithful, erupts silently

Now the best part of Yellowstone Park, and the hardest to photograph and describe. Massive in scale, amazing colors and texture, above is the upper falls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Below is the beginning of the Artist area

Boring Travel Photos

Campsite in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has great roads, and such tiny little towns, this is northern part of the state. One little town had 7 tiny little bars in a row, about 300 feet apart. The signs are all from Old Style Beer.


Groing through South Dakota, beautiful wheat fields, and sunflower fields. We tried to drive on I 94, but too much construction, traffic and bad roads. Switched to 12, smooth sailing all the way to Montana. Storm clouds gathering over Yellowstone RV park in South Dakota
