Shared Experiences - Old Faithful
I never get tired of watching this moment unfold. There is a common thread—nature— that brings us together, and for one brief moment we are captivated by something larger than ourselves.

Specimen Ridge - NE YNP
Beautiful day in Yellowstone on Saturday. One of our favorite hikes follows this spectacular ridge. This area of the park is known for its high concentration of petrified wood.

How Migratory Ungulates Navigate Fences
This is a very interesting study (see the link below). I was able to witness this firsthand yesterday morning. You can see how a fence can impact their (elk) movements.

Time to bulk up!
We had a real treat the other day in the Lamar Valley. Spotted this lone grizzly foraging just off the road. Bears are in "hyperphagia." A supercharged mode where they spend much of their day bulking up before the long winter.

Chill morning at Mammoth. This bull was hanging out across from the visitor center all morning. Very relaxed.
