Yellowstone

Yellowstone isn't about spectacular peaks and high passes - save that for Rocky Mountain or Glacier. It has both, but they're less accessible to most folks and are somewhat overshadowed by Yellowstone's better known sideshows - like waterfalls and geysers and large mammals. But it still has incredible high country scenery.

This was another fairly quick trip through the park - we dipped into the northwest corner along the Gallatin Valley, entered the park at the west entrance, explored the Firehole River and the Midway Geyser Basin, then headed for Cooke City at the northwest entrance via Canyon Village (we didn't even walk over to the falls this trip) and the Lamar Valley.
