Yellowstone & the Tetons

One week in June, from the geyser basins to the Tetons. Mineral water doing things color isn't supposed to do, steam catching the last light, Old Faithful on a cold morning — then the road south to the mountains, and the whole valley from the air on the way home.

Grand Prismatic Spring from the overlook, teal ringed with rust
Runoff terraces at Grand Prismatic reflecting the sky
A hot spring ringed in orange, deep blue at the throat
Orange bacterial mat patterns, steam rising beyond
Cumulus towers building over the basin on a blue afternoon
Old Faithful's steam column against a morning sky
A geyser erupting into a sunset sky
Steam columns silhouetted against the orange dusk
A road running straight through lodgepole pines toward distant peaks
The Snake River bending below the Teton range from the overlook
The Tetons mirrored in a still beaver pond at Schwabacher Landing
The snowcapped Teton range rising beyond the river and cottonwoods
A turquoise lake set in dark mountains, seen from the plane home
