Continuing Our Morning Saga ~ Day 3 In Yellowstone

Our goal for Wednesday was to meander over roads where we had seen wildlife and beautiful scenery on the previous two days.

1 (1)We continued to see bison as we traveled away from the Mud Volcano area.

1 (2)As you can see, the fog had not yet lifted in Hayden Valley.

1 (6)Then the scene changed to a bit of a silhouette as I faced the sun.

1 (15)It is always exciting to come across a scene like this and wonder what they are watching.

1 (16)These were some serious wildlife watchers!

They had been watching four grizzlies ~ at quite a distance ~ that had just disappeared from their view. We also heard stories of them watching five wolves from this spot the night before.

By now it was about 9:30 AM, and the fog had finally lifted.

2 (1)We had seen several mule deer, but this was the first nice buck.
