Paintings of Wyoming - Day 4, Tuesday

Sunrise...as we crawl from the tent into the 40-degree air... Cocoa is in order...

Driving to the north end of the park for the day.

Let's stop along the Yellowstone River to view some bison...

Maddie, not too close...

Madison!

Lunch break at Canyon Village

Yes, we were fortunate enough to stop at the Petrified Tree...amazing...

Undine Falls

Reflecting...

Mammoth Hot Springs

They were mammoth alright...

But hot? Not at all...completely dried up...quite sad...

But there WAS a village below...

...and a bridge to get there...

Tower Falls

Slowly making our way down to the river at the base of the falls...

Too cool to swim in...

Hanging on...

Hiking back up...the fun part...

Mount Washburn

Amazing view from above...

Heading back to Camp...Waiting for bison to cross...

The sun beat us home....

Paintings of Wyoming - Day 3, Monday

What lies behind the clouds... Hiking up a rock-climbing "training" mountain

Don't look down...

Seriously Maddie...don't look down!

Ever the cautious one...

Looking down towards Jackson Hole...and the road they paved right down the middle of it...

That's me on the bottom left...

Old and new...the rejouvenation of Yellowstone

Road construction...again...

Moose Falls

Geyser Basin at Old Faithful

...and then the rain came...

...and then Old Faithful FINALLY erupted :)

At Camp Sinclair

Buildin' a far

Until tomorrow...

Paintings of Wyoming - Day 2, Sunday

My eyes were gazing upward the entire day, for Wyoming has the most beautiful sky in the country...

They also have the most road construction...
..and the best views of the Teton Range

Surveying the damage to the Mini...

from both gravel and grasshoppers..

Exploring in her Sunday-best...

Layers...Jackson, WY

...reading up on proper bear-fighting techniques...

Heading for camp at Gros Ventre (French for "Big Belly", as in: You're gonna be in the big belly of that bison if you stay at this campground)

Good-night sun...and wonderful Wyoming Sky...
