Yellowstone in Action
To accompany Erin’s account of our visit to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Wyoming’s Crown Jewels, here are four videos illustrating our time in these two beautiful parks.
First, see what a Moose or two can do to traffic on the main highway going from Grand Teton to Yellowstone. Just outside Jackson Lake Lodge, we stopped to watch a cow moose and her baby. While Erin got close for photos, I took a quick video of the craziness. Just after taking this clip, two tour buses arrived and dumped another sixty people on the scene…
Next, from the Mud Volcano geothermal area in Yellowstone, watch this bubbling, roiling, reeking caldron of muddy water. It was loud, and the stench was incredible.
Of course, I have to share the beauty and power of Old Faithful. I start the clip with a funny sound bite from a young boy, then the geyser performs mightily with an extra bonus: a rainbow.
Lastly, just as the sun was setting and we were leaving Yellowstone, we caught a male Elk thrashing his antlers in frustration. He really tore up the grass!
