That looked like a great trip. That park is up there with The Ditch and Na Pali in Hawaii on my list.
And if I ran there anywhere remote, I'd definitely be carrying the bear spray. Heh. I guess you didn't hear any wolves or you would have mentioned it. Unless you're so used to wolves after your trip, you're like "Eh, another wolf pack howling (yawn)" and just forgot about it.
No bears, no wolves. But we saw tracks. I ran on the road ... no question, camping in the back country there (which we did not do really) would not be a cavalier consideration.
Chris, I cheated on that shot. I rotated the camera so that the roots looked level. They are actually sloped. If you look to the right in the shot you can see an actual tree standing up/down and get what the angle shift was.
Ah, you know I love the family pics, these are fantastic. I spent a summer at geology field camp in the Yellowstone and surrounding areas a VERY long time ago (haven't been back since, unfortunately), such an incredible geological wonder!
I remember camping while we were at camp and hearing grizzly bears...it was kinda scary and sleep wasn't coming easy those nights.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
And you probably heard that M.S. is currently under 10' of mud.

ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a great trip! So many amazing sights. Those tree roots are really cool.

DeleteAwesome! I would not worry too much about getting eaten in Jellystone, you just need to be faster than the hordes of tourists ;).
