I like Yellowstone. It's
open; with large vistas and varied fauna.
Many of the 'Paint Pots'
were dry and many geysers were dormant due to a lack of snow in the high
country. The forest had burned during the fires of 1988, but now are beginning
to regrow in a big way.
Even Yellowstone was plagued
by road construction.
West Thumb Geyser Basin
is right on
Yellowstone Lake.
The vibrant colors are caused
by algae and a difference in temperature.
