My wife and I were at Yellowstone most of the day on Saturday. Our first visit was to the brink of the lower falls of the Yellowstone River. Here is a picture of the Yellowstone canyon taken from the brink of the lower falls.

My wife decided to drive east from the canyon on our way around to the Old Faithful area. We passed the Mud Volcanes and Sulphur Cauldron. The smell of hydrogen sulfide was far stronger than I had experienced on several prior trips. Far too vile and acrid to stop for pictures.

Our final bit of exercise was a 4 mile hike around Mystic Falls and the Overlook. It was a pretty strenous hike up steep mountain slopes around 7800 ft elevation.

Aside from the extra noxious smells of the Mud Volcano area, I didn't see anything remarkably different. We managed to the park about every two weeks from mid-May until this last weekend.

That sounds heavenly Myrddin (except for the smell, of course).

Excellent photography Myrddin. Was that digital? Makes me sick to think of people wanting to destroy our beautiful country. We've been to Yellowstone many times and each time it is always new to us. Did you see any wildlife on your hike?
