Short Jaunt to Yellowstone

I went up to Yellowstone for four days over the Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately it snowed most every night and was covered in clouds almost the entire time. Regardless, I had great luck with wildlife, and at least caught a glimmer of the beauty of the park.

I'd love to go back when the thermal pools aren't completely shrouded in the steam created by their 150°F degree water meeting the 30-37°F air.

Anyway, here are a few selections. As always, comments are welcome, and thanks for looking.
