Yellowstone Trip - Day Two (part one)

On Tuesday we drove up to Mammoth. We saw hundreds of buffalo - a lot of them right off the road. In fact, one of them ran onto the road and looked like it was going to headbutt the small car in front of us.

By the end of the day, we were actually sick of the buffalo because they caused huge, long traffic delays. Even though there were hundreds of them, I think people felt they needed to stop and take a picture of every single one of them.



We finally made it to Mammoth and enjoyed things like this "Liberty Cap" - a dormant hot spring cone.

On the way back to the campsite we stopped to see Falls, hot springs, mud pots, and just about anything else that looked scenic






We saw tons of wildlife this day - buffalo, antelope, deer, moose, elk, and a coyote. It was the first time I've seen a coyote (in the wild). We also saw this scary creature (gotta love camp hair!)
