Yellowstone Park with Doug's Parents

Yesterday, Bob and Jean arrived in town and watched the Yellowstone IMAX Movie.

Today, we showed them around Yellowstone.

Norris Geyser Basin is the home of this beautiful blue pool.

A non-painted buffalo grazed near the road.

It was a very windy day at Lower Falls.

A bird has made its nest atop these rocks in the middle of the canyon.

Here's an eerie-looking hole in the volcanic landscape of Yellowstone.

Sulphur Cauldron smells like...sulphur.

Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake at this altitude in the world.

The Kepler Cascades roar along.

The crowd gathers for the next showing of Old Faithful.

These elk wonder: What's Old Faithful?

Midnight at Old Faithful

Ever wonder if Old Faithful erupts in the dark of night? We wondered and we went to see.

It was pretty chilly at midnight.

Marlon couldn't quite make out Old Faithful's eruption.

When driving in Yellowstone, always be aware at Buffalo Crossings.

We happened upon this elk grazing by moonlight.

He acted like Marlon was just another elk and kept on eating.
