The Roosevelt Arch where president Roosevelt dedicated the park to the people of America in 1903.
Actually it's Yellowstone.
Still a long way to get to the Equator
The Yellowstone River
Beautiful Scenery
Wherever you look in Yellowstone the scenery is spectacular.
Mountains everywhere
Striking Mountains in the distance
Fall showing her colors

And again
The Colloidal Pool
Yet another Geyser
The Porcelain Basin from above
The park is literally situated on top of an active volcano and every year there are numerous people badly injured by wandering off the boardwalks on what appears to be solid ground, only to find they are on a thin crust that breaks and they are left standing knee deep in mud with a temperature of 200 degrees plus. 
The Rangers Museum at Porcelain Basin; unfortunately it was closed.
The dreaded Chipmunk
The Lower Falls area is located just to the east of Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park. 
A long shot of the Falls. It's said to be higher than Niagara.
The Yellowstone River tumbles 308 feet, striking the canyon floor with such force that it sends foam and mist hundreds of feet upward.
The Yellowstone River
Approaching too close to the Elk,Bison and Bears to have pictures taken can only end poorly and every year people are injured and killed through no fault of the animals, but by their own stupidity.
Oh give me a home where the Buffalo roam
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Steam everywhere
The Yellowstone Lake is 7732 feet above sea level-the highest in the U.S.-and covers 136 sq. miles.

The elevation in Yellowstone is between 5282 in the north to 11358 feet at the Eagle Peak summit with temperatures currently falling to the mid thirties overnight.
The Roosevelt Lodge located right beside Old Faithful.
Built in 1919-1920 incredible workmanship
Alvina waiting for the Geyser to erupt.
There she blows
Up to 180 feet
Lasts anywhere from three to eight minutes.
Even at this time of year there were hundreds of tourists from all over the world to see the famous Geyser.
Now we've seen it I'm going to eat.
These Buffalo are everywhere.
The Excelsior Geyser at Midway Geyser Basin
Excelsior Geyser from above
Excelsior, once a large geyser, is now a productive thermal spring, presently discharging 4050 gallons per minute. Numerous vents boil and churn the water within the crater, covering it in a dense layer of steam.
Grand Prismatic is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone, and is considered to be the third largest in the world.
Grand Prismatic sits upon a wide, spreading mound where water flows evenly on all sides forming a series of small, stair-step terraces.
The colors begin with a deep blue center followed by pale blue. Green algae forms beyond the shallow edge. Outside the scalloped rim a band of yellow fades into orange. Red then marks the outer border. Steam often shrouds the spring which reflects the brilliant colors. Grand Prismatic discharges an estimated 560 gallons per minute.
The Elk apparently can't read-note the hoof prints in the Bacterial mats
