The South Loop of Yellowstone

We were on the road at 6:00 AM this morning headed for Yellowstone National Park.  Our tour took us around the south loop of the park. We were hoping to see a lot of a variety of animals but were a little disappointed.  We saw a few elk, one black bear, a lot of Bison, a Sandhill Crane family and a ton of Canada Geese.

The south loop has many thermal features. We passed up mingling with the crowds at Old Faithful and spent our time at less crowded places. We had breakfast while observing two Bison feeding and our lunch was overlooking the Midway Geyser Basin.

After we got back to the Winnebago I went out and got a few shots of the wild daisies growing in profusion near our RV Park.

We went for a drive after dinner and were rewarded with a moose sighting. This young bull moose was kind enough to pose for me.
