07.June Yellowstone day 4, - Going to the zooo


This park is a regular zoo. First we had a nice walk for 2 hours, and when we returned from the woods, we saw the sign: "You are now entering bear country. Be sure to make a lot of noise and bring your bearspray." Afterwards wnen driving, we saw pronghorns, deer, elk, osprey (and many other large birds), lots of bison, Rocky Mountain sheep and cinamon bear and black bear, squirrels, chipmunks and a badger.

06. June Yellowstone day 3, - A cold ride

 We took a riding tour in Blacktail Deer Creek Valley. It started out with snow, strong winds and 37 degrees (+ 2 c). Sidsel spotted a wolf as we passed over a 7300 feet (2300 m) plain. Of all the things I did not expect in the Rocky Mountains, a restaurant called The Lighthouse the most unexpected.

04. June Yellowstone National park



The animals did their job. 5 minutes after entering the park we spotted the first buffaloes.  And then every 90 minutes (on average) Old Faithful has an eruption.

03. June Driving north from Bryce to Ashton





We have been driving all day. The car is wonderful. Not many beautiful pictures today, but we have studied the irrigation systems.  For us Norwegians  they are fascinating, huge and makes circular green acres.
