Elk at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park

August 18-21, 2007.

We are staying in Grizzly RV-Park in West Yellowstone, Montana just out the west gate of Yellowstone National Park. We had reservations this time for a back in FHU backin site for $37. Grizzly is a nice park, the nicest campground in the area. Bottom line is if you are planning to visit WEST YELLOWSTONE during July thru Aug-15 you need a reservation as every campground in the area is FULL. After August 15 you can have your choice of campgrounds with no reservations.

Our son and grandson are spending the week with us touring the Tetons and Yellowstone. Come join us for some fun.

As we were pulling into the Old Faithful area a group of elk crossed the road in front of us. Joyce was able to get a picture of them as they passed in front of the Old Faithful Lodge seen in the background.

They made a good addition to the thermal features.

I think I like this picture best. Again, that is Old Faithful Lodge with the flags on top.

Female elk like to trot with their head held high in the air.
