Beartooth Highway Roadtrip

Took a ride along the Beartooth highway today.  136 miles (68 one way) of some of the most beautiful scenery in the US. Climbs over 10,000 feet and has a zillion hills turns and switchbacks. Many picturesque lakes, snow (still), and a million rugged peaks.  Stopped by Hitching Post in Yellowstone to look for wolves and caught a typical Yellowstone scene - stream, fisherman and LOTS of Bison.  This area typically has a herd of 500-700 bedded down for the night.

Bullwinkle

Finally got to see a moose that's been running around near the Petrified Tree near Roosevelt.  Not the greatest shot ... but we saw him on our lunch break with his back to the sun, so a lot of shadows ... BUT, it's clearly a bull moose!

Mesa Falls, Yellowstone Falls

 Took a ride along the back side of the Tetons to Mesa Falls and then some late evening/night shots at the Yellowstone Canyon

Margie likes this shot with the water more natural

I like the "fuzzy water" shots

This is then sun streaming through the mist at Upper Mesa Falls

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Took this shot just after the sun went down and the moon shone through a break in the clouds

Finally back online via a brand new $138 router ... thanks Millenicom!

This little guy wanted to join us for lunch!  came about 30 ft from the car while we we're eating a special Margie concoction of spaghetti squash, mushrooms and some more secret ingredients.  It was GOOD!  He thought so too! :)

Sunset last night - the first one we've actually gotten to sit and enjoy - was fabulous.  Storm clouds, lightning, clearing and sunset all happening at the same time.  Got to see black bears 4 different times today, but unfortunately no pictures! :(
