Yellowstone & Grand Tetons

 Cody, Wyoming is one of several gateways to Yellowstone National Park.  We've had a family trip to Yellowstone in the past but we could not resist visiting the park again this year.  My favorite part of the park, Lamar Valley, is closed this year because of road damage from flooding.

The hunt was on for a grizzly bear sighting and we got our sighting. 

We viewed the bear named Raspberry and her cup named Jam for perhaps an hour.  Neat.  Here is a look at these bears:


The waters flow out of Lake Yellowstone and create the famed upper and lower falls of the Yellowstone some miles downstream.

We were constantly on the lookout for bear, wolf, bighorn sheep, and elk.



No trip to Yellowstone would be complete without a visit to Old Faithful the geyser.  We arrived to find a large crowd standing by for the show:






There she blows!











July brings out the wild flowers in Yellowstone.  I attempted to include them in some pictures:












Yellowstone is a must-see at least once in a lifetime.  I have been fortunate to visit Yellowstone many times.  Lamar Valley is called the "the American Serengeti" and it is my spot for wolf watching.

Big views:




The sun sets on our trip to Yellowstone, and out pops a rainbow.
