Yellowstone in winter

Yesterday was a great day
in Yellowstone, and today we're off for another
day of driving and photography. We pass our first big herd of elk on our way over to
Mammoth. Sure wish I had the big telephoto.
The cascading hot spring terraces pose for some nice photos. This
is part of the lower terraces area.
Here's a nice hot spring cone formation called Liberty Cap.
They call these travertine deposits.
Here are some nice views from the very beautiful Lamar Valley.
We stop at Pebble Creek for some snowshoeing. The narrow canyon
is one of the nicest spots we found on our trip.
We even find a pretty cool cave. Fortunately there isn't a bear.
A few shots on the way back out of the canyon.
The mountains of the Absaroka Range in this area are pretty spectacular.
Sunset in Lamar Valley is quite the sight as well.
