Michael's Pictures From The Trip

Here are some of the
best pictures that Michael
took with Dad's old digital
camera. They had a ball
snapping picture left and right.


On the bus from The
Ranch going to Cody, WY.

Wonder if Kenneth
regrets this look?
Emily and I in our
hotel room in Cody.
Ahhhh...

Yellowstone National Park
One of the many geysers
we saw. Yellowstone is a
very old supervolcano. There
are 4 geothermal features
found there due to the volcanic
nature of the area. Geysers,
mudpots, hot springs and steam
vents.

Michael's picture of the
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
This is a geothermal
feature called a mudpot.
One of the many hot springs
we saw. The colors were
varied and brilliant. Lots of
them were caused by micro
organisms that only live there.
It was so cool!

At Yellowstone they try
to be as minimally invasive
as possible. The logs that are
at the base of the waterfall
won't be removed unless there
is a huge problem caused by
them being there. We saw lots
and lots of areas that had
suffered from forest fires. None
of those dead trees had been
removed.

Michael took this picture
at the store in the lodge
we stayed in at Grand
Teton National Park. This
is just some of the great
Native American crafts and
handiwork we saw.
