Yellowstone National Park

On Thursday, May 17th, my family and I visited Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It was a fantastic experience! The wildlife and scenery in Yellowstone are breathtaking. I will let the pictures below speak for themselves...

Lake Yellowstone

The wolf on the left was part of a pack that hunted an elk the night before this picture was taken. The pack briefly left the carcass and the grizzly bear promptly stole it. In this picture the grizzly feels that the wolf is getting too close, so its stands on its hind legs to challenge the wolf. The wolf promptly lays down.

While not a part of Yellowstone, we did stop at Mt. Rushmore in Rapid City, SD.
