North Yellowstone

Today, we broke camp at Lionshead RV Park in West Yellowstone and headed out to camp in the park itself at the Mammoth Hot Springs campground up by the North Entrance to Yellowstone.  On the map below you can see the yellow route we took through the park to get to the North Yellowstone campground.

After some lunch we head out to see the Mammoth Hot Springs and the Northern road highlighted in Green on the map above.

There’s a really nice place provided by the National Park Service to take a virtual tour of the springs: http://www.nps.gov/yell/tours/mammoth/index.htm . It really gives a great description of the place and even has a live webcam at: www.nps.gov/yell/mammothcam.htm .

Here are a few of my pictures from our walk around and through the springs.

We saw a bunch more Elk along the route but NO MOOSE!!  Where are the MOOSE??

As we drove on we noted that there were a lot of cars stopped and even a park ranger out on the road directing people to park completely off the road.  What were they all looking at??  A mama Black Bear and her two cubs.

The little guys were playfully fighting in the picture to the right above.

We drove further and found another really great water fall.
