We are back from our
winter vacation inYellowstone and can't wait to share it with you! To begin with,
Yellowstone is a truely magical place that one really needs to experience in real life to
fully appreciate; the winter adds yet another layer of wonder and solitude to it all.
Isolated from the world, you travel through a landscape transformed by endless
fields of virgin snow making the most beautiful place on earth even more awe-inspiring.
The thumbnails you see on the right are links to full screen images of our trip.
They are by no means a substitute for going there in the winter, in fact we hope they
encourage you to plan a trip to Yellowstone in an upcoming winter. (If you do lets us
know..we already want to go back) We did just about everything the park had to offer:
cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and snow coach tours. We had
a diverse group of guides from all over the country who were all very knowledgable and
friendly making the experience that much better. We saw a variety of winter
inhabitants like elk, a moose, mule deer, coyote (some a little too curious), a fox,
bison, a rabit, trumpeter swans, pickpocketing ravens, magpies, mallards, dippers,
golden eyes, and a bald eagle ruling over a dead carcass. Because we were staying in a
"closed" park the food choices were some what limiting. Although the
dining was excellent, Wendy, as you know, is more of a burger and fries kind of person,
but enjoyed a gourmet salad with every meal. We hope you enjoy our vacation photos
and please stop back in a couple of weeks for more selections. Peace
Bill & Wendy |
