Palette Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs
This photo doesn't do the scene justice....ya gotta go there. The water and ice, the steam and mist, surrounded by pure white snow...it's ethereal.
Another Beautiful Place To Experience a Winter Wonderland
Canary Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs. Bring your gear.... there are trails reserved for snowshoers and cross country skiers throughout this area.

Waiting My Turn - How Long Can I Keep My Legs Crossed?
This bison found some easy grass to forage. Unfortunately for me, it was a bit too close to the toilet. I don't think I have to go that bad!

Waiting for the bison to move
We are on our own now as the snow coach tour is over. This picture was taken from our car. Hwy 89 is the only road open in Yellowstone. From Gardiner, which is the north entrance, you can travel through Mammoth Hot Springs all the way to Cooke City which is a northeast entrance to the park.
Waiting Their Turn
A rather grizzly scene softened with a painterly effect. Here we see a wolf guarding the carcass while fox, ravens and magpies eagerly anticipate their next meal.

Literally At The End Of The Road
A great place for lunch if you drive as far as the road is open, which ends at Cooke City.
