Yellowstone Falls, Mountain passes, Bears, Mammoth

We hiked  down to the top of Yellowstone Falls (the drop off point) and were rewarded with this vista and rainbow.
What grandeur and beauty


We drove over some mountain passes, and through some cloud bursts, and through some snow storms (really I don't like cold weather - I was miserable)

We saw a sleeping bear.
We let him lie
(Sorry I couldn't resist)

We hiked around Mammoth Springs which, right here was the best it ever got, despite the endless pathways and stairs leading us on towards barren wastelands with nothing to show but steam and unimpressive land masses (which were probably really cool at one time, but seriously they needed a sign letting us know this was as good as it would get - not to waste our effort.)
