Red canyon walls

This canyon is constructed from a variety of sediment and sedimentary rock like this red sandstone along this particular wall. Years of wind and erosion from the Yellowstone river have worn this one flat plateau

Canyon Walls.

a different view of the canyon with its many vertical, trapazoidal and linear shapes and dimensions. Part of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  You really need a panaoramic video to capture it in all its abundance.

Canyon Walls with river

Just a small part of the canyon walls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone with a view of the Yellowstone River. This was taken at 8000ft. in altitude.

Lower Falls, Yellowstone

One view of Lower Falls with the Yellowstone River.  We hiked at 8,000 ft. along the South Rim of the Caldera.

Larger herd

A much larger herd of Bison. We must have seen 100's of the today, small herds and large herds.

Small herd

A small herd of Bison grazy in E. Yellowstone.

Lone Bison Grazing

A Bison grazing in E. Yellowstone. I must have seen over 100 of this wooly creatures today.  I shot this at about 25 yards, getting out of the truck.  Not the smartest move I've ever made.  When he locked eyes with me, I was wondering,  Hmmmm.... what is the thinking?
