Heard the rushing water and as it hits, large mist clouds arise.

How "Yellowstone" got it's name.

Undine Falls

Yellowstone Mesa

Fall is ending at this altitude and snow will arrive soon.  Morning tempature was 21.

Rangers keeping visitors at safe distance.

North of Gardiner, another Elk herd enjoys the green fields

Warm afternoon, time for a dip in the Yellowstone River.

Trip up to Tom Miner Basin to look for wildlife.
Grizzly sow and her twin cubs warily keep track of approaching boar.

Time to head for the tall timber. 

Another Grizzly boar, giving us a total of 10 bears for the morning.

Bull Moose wanders through the willows along Tom Miner Creek

The Bull sports a respectable shovel rack.

Two young bull Elk stay clear of the herds.

As we were heading out of the basin, this Mule Deer buck walked right next to the road.

Every time we take a ride from our home in Livingstone, we marvel at all the wonderful beauty all around us.  The abundence of wildlife is ever before us.
