Yellowstone

For the last couple of weeks I have been on an extended vacation.  I ended my job with England Logistics on July 20 and have been traveling ever since.  First I went up to Port Angeles, Washington with my parents to visit Michelle and Trevor.  We went to the beach, played in the river, ate pizza, and watched the Olympics.  Need I say more?  Then we went south to Yuba City and I spent a couple days enjoying the sun and seeing old friends.  
When I flew back to Utah last Tuesday, I had two days before going on the road again to see the sights at Yellowstone National Park.  There were 11 of us (all friends from Salt Lake) that went up there to a family cabin in Island Park for the weekend.  We had such a great time!  Here are some pictures from the Park.
Bison.

Mammoth Hot Springs (which is drying up)

Yellowstone Grand Canyon, just above the Lower Falls (that is the mist from the Falls you see at the bottom)

More of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, beautiful huh?

On the drive home, just before we got to the West Entrance.  Amazing.  

Can't remember the name, but some of the most brilliant colors I have ever seen in a body of water.  Very cool.
