YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING. I USED A CANON EOS, REBEL XT CAMERA, WITH A 18-55 MM. LENS. I DID NOT USE A TRI-POD. The lower falls (44°43′05″N 110°29′46″W) are 308 feet (94 m) high, or almost twice as high as Niagara. The volume of water is in no way comparable to Niagara as the width of the Yellowstone River before it goes over the lower falls is 70 feet (22 m), whereas Niagara is a half mile (800 m). / The lower falls descend from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow. The lower falls of the Yellowstone is still the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary from 63,500 USgal/s (240 m³/s) at peak runoff to 5,000 USgal/s (19 m³/s) in the fall. Over the years the estimates of the height of Lower Falls has varied dramatically. In 1851 Jim Bridger estimated its height at 250 feet. One outrageous newspaper story from 1867 placed its height at “thousands of feet”. A map from 1869 gives the falls its current name of Lower Falls for the first time and estimates the height at 350 feet.
The Yellowstone River boils over the rim, and plummets 309 feet into the canyon below. Taken at the brink of the lower falls. Yes, the water really is this color. Wish this image had an audio track. The roar of the falls is really something to hear.
This ram was an easier shot. During the winter rut, they frequent the North Fork of the Shoshone River along the highway between Cody Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. They are somewhat used to people and traffic, and often give you plenty of time to set up your tripod while they just relax and watch. During the right time of the rut they are more aggessive, fighting other males that get too near their harem. I’m going back this weekend, hoping for some action shots.
Who has not seen this great waterfalls in Wyoming
Water flows over the travertine terraces of Canary Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Bacteria living the hot water provide the orange, yellow and brown colors.
One of the most impressive sites in Yellowstone National Park is Mammoth Springs. I was struck by the stark contrast of the trees and shadows against the white terraces and in the distance a dark sky was brewing up a heavy rain which fell with extreme coldness and then swiftly moved out of the area. /

One of the many ever changing hot springs in the nation’s most diverse National Park. Describing Yellowstone is like the parable of the four blind men describing an elephant – “The elephant is like a tree”, says one. “No, this animal is like a snake.” “What are you talking about? The elephant is cool, hard and pointy…” The last says, “The elephant is like a frayed rope, hanging from the sky… And be VERY CAREFUL when you pull it!” :-) Yellowstone is a park that deserves more than a “drive by”. There are National Parks that have more of a single note, one gets a sense of what they are about after a short visit. The Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Parks are about their respective canyons, for example… Yellowstone has a wide variety of ecosystems… Mountains, lakes, rivers, valleys, canyons, geysers, hot springs. And due to the geology of the area, the geothermal features are always changing. So, the point of all this rambling is, if you are planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park, plan on spending as much time as possible! Pentax K20D, Pentax 16-50mm zoom. 375+ Views /

Two mature bull elk stand off over the affections of a dozen harem candidates at the crack of dawn – north of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone Park. In this part of the North, fall is signaled as much by the sounds as the colors. The melancholic bugle of the bull Elk or the clatter of antlers as they spar over prospective harems. The crisp smell of a morning in fall and the cured grass at dawn . . . this is fall in Yellowstone. Canon EOS-1D Mark II, Canon 70-200 f2.8L @70mm, 1/60, f/11 ISO 100, Processed in Lightroom 2.2.
Orange Spring Mound is located in Mammoth Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. / Bacteria and algae create the streaks of color on Orange Spring Mound. It is noticeably different from many of the other terrace formations nearby. Its large mounded shape is the result of very slow water flow and mineral deposition. Canon XT with 75-300mm lens, f/5, 1/640sec, ISO-200, 105mm.
