Madson River

Not many fisherman on the rivers

Images of the Madison River
in West Yellowstone
I like Yellowstone. It's open; with large vistas and varied fauna.

Upper Geyser Basin
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.

Algae mats at West Thumb
West Thumb Geyser Basin is right on
Yellowstone Lake.

Algae mat

The vibrant colors are caused by algae and a difference in temperature.

There was only a slight sulfur odor.
