Yellowstone N.P.

Yellowstone Nat'l. Park was a little dissappointing; very little wildlife to be seen. Not a single elk in Mammoth Village! We saw many Bison, of course, but only a couple of far-off elk; no bears, wolves, or moose.
Colors are changing in the park. The trees are turning a dull yellow or rust; undergrowth has some vibrant colors!
We took some nature hikes with the park rangers. Very informative; sometimes we managed to reach a geyser just as it began to erupt!

Glacier Nat. Park

Wildlife is plentiful in the park. Bighorn Sheep browse at roadside. The trail to Hidden Lake passes by Mt. Reynolds in Glacier National Park. A clear, but crisp and breezy day enticed us to take it. But time did not allow, so we may try another day.
