Yellowstone National Park - America's Treasure

    Leaving Grand Teton National Park, we blink and we're entering the much revered Yellowstone National      Park.  It was not only America's first national park . . . but the first in the world, and what a treasure it is.


She kept saying . . . "I can't believe I'm really here!"

    We saw inviting river scenes like this at least a hundred times throughout the park.  Picturesque cascading   falls, clear icy water, churning rapids from the winter's snow melt causing a symphony of sounds, framed by         the lush greenery of trees and meadows on the hillsides.  Can you smell the pines?  Be still my heart.


         Taking the east loop we soon came upon Yellowstone Lake.  Deep, mysterious, enchanting, and
          mostly icy cold, except for the areas where underwater geysers spew boiling water into the lake
                                            spawning all colors of algae and waterborn plantlife.
