Site Seeing in Yellowstone

I've wanted to visit Yellowstone since I was a kid and finally made
it! We drove about 225 miles in the park over two days. Our travels
took us to the major geothermal attractions and formations. Our
favorite geyser was Fountain Geyser.

In addition to the ubiquitous bison (including those lumbering down
the middle of the road) we saw black bear, elk, pronghorns (like
antelope), coyote, deer, bighorn sheep, bald eagle, trumpeter swans,
uinta ground squirrels and pika (cute rodents). It was great fun
seeking and spotting wildlife and we got some great pix. I'll post
some at the end of the trip as I could't get anything good with my
phone.

We're on to South Dakota and hoping for warmer and drier weather.
