Creature Feature: Wildlife Jam for the Olfactory Nerves

Yellowstone National Park. In an earlier post I described Wyoming as the kind of place perhaps God either threw together at the last minute, or took to the drawing board with a "what if we tried..." attitude. Yellowstone does nothing to refute that theory.

Where else in the world will you find giant Bison, Elk, Black & Brown Bears roaming freely amongst geysers, bubbling mud pots and sulphur springs?

These are exactly the things we saw. While driving from Cody, WY to Yellowstone we saw a black bear on the side of the road. And if it weren't for Kate's keen eyes we would have missed it. It's not unusual for one to pass cars parked on the side of the road nearly anywhere, but there was something that caught Kate's attention. And off to the side of the road and down a 40 foot ravine was a black bear foraging along side a small river.










Yellowstone is home to Bison










Elk










as well as geysers












a canyon










sulphur springs, which smell pretty bad











and other geothermal curiosities.
