Yellowstone

We saw a tremendous amount of wildlife in Yellowstone.  It seemed like there were Elk and Buffalo around every bend in the road.

Bear up the hill

Bear Jam!

We came around a bend in the road and several cars were stopped blocking the road.  We slowed to a stop and looked to see why they were stopped.  This guy was the reason for the stoppage.  It was a Bear Jam.  

The bear was only about 25 feet the other side of the road.  Much closer than they tell you to go to a bear.  We think he was a black bear.

Buffalo in the meadowWe saw a very large herd of Buffalo in this Meadow. Upper Yellowstone FallsWe also saw some great waterfalls.  This is upper Yellowstone falls on the Yellowstone River.
