Wallowa Lake from tramway

We stayed in the park for several nights. The weather was perfect! At the top of the tram on Mt Howard are hiking trails which offer super views of the mountains and valley.

hot water pool

Some pools are green, some yellow or orange. Their colors depend on the minerals present. Just don't fall in!

in Yellowstone Park

We hiked, drove over 300 miles in the Park and saw many volcanic steaming geysers, boiling mud, fumeroles and huwaterfalls. We were in and out of the car every few minutes to see the amazing sights in this huge Park that everyone would enjoy!

vidoe of boiling mud!

Hope you can see this! It's amazing!

Hot!

Steam from the center of the earth pops up in many places in Yellowstone Park. The park is enormous and alos an active volcano. So much to see that is strange!

Buffalo near hot springs

Lots of bison/buffalo live here in Yellowstone Park.
