Hard to put yellowstone into words

It’s hard to show the immense expanse of Wyoming and Montana sky that is Yellowstone without just saying, “it’s big. Go see it.” I recently travelled to Big Sky country and the enduring message for me is that it’s a beautiful place.

Yellowstone (at least the relatively small part of it that we were able to see over five days of car travel) encompasses mountains, prairies, thermal features, some of the most engaging animals I’ve seen anywhere, and a general wonder and myth of the American West. Almost any picture I took there turned out well. This one was interesting because it blends the sky, mountains, general terrain, and the unique quality of light in the summer in the region.

I’d like to go back, but maybe this time it will be during a different time of the year. The goal will be to continue appreciating Yellowstone.
