YNP day 5

 On day 5 I woke up early in order to get to artists point at sunrise.  Everything was going fine until two things happened.  First a huge bus load of loud and obnoxious tourists invaded the quiet of the dawn and clouds emerged and stopped the golden sun just as it approached the falls.  It was still a magic morning.

YNP day 4 pm

On this afternoon we headed to the Canyon section of Yellowstone.  The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone was spectacular in it's color.  As we headed back to our cabin we spotted a large bull elk in a small grove.  I took about a hundred pics of him and here is one that captures the beauty of him.  That evening we headed south to the Hayden valley to see more Bison.

YNP day 3

 Day three found us up early and on the road to the Hayden Valley.  The views were stunning.  After that we made our way south to the Grand Tetons.  There was more smoke down there but it was still beautiful.
