Yellowstone North Loop

We got an early start again today to do the north loop of Yellowstone National Park. The predominant animal in the park is the Bison. They are everywhere. We did see Elk, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Grizzly Bear, Marmots, Deer, Fox and Sandhill Cranes. Not bad for a Finn with bad eyesight.


We had our breakfast overlooking part of the Lamar Valley. After breakfast we continued up Lamar Valley where we saw a Black Bear and a Grizzly. I got a shot of the head of the Grizzly but nothing else.

After leaving Lamar Valley we headed south toward Canyon Junction and Yellowstone Falls. Not far up the road we saw a fox and got a few shots of it before it disappeared.

We decided to stop for a look at Yellowstone Falls from Artists Point and were glad we did as there was an incredible amount of water flowing over the falls.

On the way to Artist's Point we were able to capture a few images of a Bull Elk feeding on top of a hill.

Wild flowers are blooming everywhere in the park. Unfortunately we don't have a guide to help us ID the flowers.
