2011 Yellowstone Winter

Started out in Bozeman, stayed a first night in Mammoth Hot Springs, stayed several days around Old Faithful, and then back to the Mammoth Hot Springs area for the Wolf Discovery tour.

I had tried to take this same shot in 2000 the first time I was ever in the snow lodge. It wasn't a good attempt and a poor scan. It was still during the film era though and the best I could do at the time. It's amazing how much has changed. - February 06, 2011 - 1/30 sec at f / 2.8 - 17 mm - ISO 400 - 44°27'22" N 110°49'48" W
