Wyoming may be the least populous state in the US but it is an awesome state with some spectacular sights. Yellowstone rates up there as one of the absolute highlights in terms of different scenery, and we loved checking it all out. Go there!! Oh yeah.....AND WE SAW 5 MOOSE!!!!! The only animal left on our list that we hadn't seen and roolly roolly wanted to see. Beautiful animals :-)
Devil's Tower Monument
Our very first moose! Bighorn National Forest
There was a beaver in the same place as the moose - go figure!
Moose on the far left, beaver on the far right close to the water (yes, it's just a little brown spot here but we thought it was cool to get them both in the same picture!)
Bison by the lake
No wonder the bison coats would keep people warm in winter!

Q: Why did the bison cross the road?

A: To check out the Blue Bullet of course!! (seriously, this one stopped traffic to walk ever so slowly across the road and right in front of us)
Amazing hot spring at West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone NP
Sunset - just opposite our campground
Warning - this is what sitting on top of a sulphur vent can do to your skin! Some seriously shtinky and powerful stuff!!!
Near Mud Volcano
Two bison posing for us :-)
Old Faithful. This "series of photographs" (we sound like professionals talking about our famed collection of photos!) is of the geyser Old Faithful just before it erupted and then a couple of shots mid-eruption.

Geyser country near Old Faithful
Grand Prismatic Spring - this hot spring was the most beautiful blue, with yellow and orange around the edges from the minerals in the water.
Great Fountain Geyser - erupts every 12 or so hours and we arrived 35 minutes before it went off - sitting very close! It was awesome.
...almost there....
Thar she blows!
Upper and Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Mammoth Hot Springs - very cool to see that the water here leaves deposits rather than erodes the countryside.
Freaky rock!
