“GRAND CANYON OF THE YELLOWSTONE”
In 1871, Hayden Expedition survey artist Thomas Moran described Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon as “beyond the resource of human art”. Undoubtedly his paintings and sketches helped persuade Congress and President Grant to make Yellowstone the world’s first national park. This view of the canyon and the Yellowstone River was taken from the Brink of the Lower Falls (on the North Rim) during peak run-off in late May.

“GRIZZ COUNTRY”
On this late October day an extended Indian summer gave way to Greater Yellowstone’s first real blast of winter. This view of prime grizzly habitat and high country east of Yellowstone National Park was taken north of Cody, Wyoming along State Route 296, more commonly known as the Chief Joseph Highway. Grizzlies are slow to mature and to reproduce, and require vast amounts of undisturbed, intact habitat to make a living.

"SLOUGH CREEK, SEPTEMBER"
This is a good trail to hike with three or more friends, given that it meanders through high-density grizzly bear habitat! September is no exception. The views are astonishing, and the fishing is reportedly good, but always be bear aware when traveling in the Slough Creek drainage, or anywhere else in Greater Yellowstone.

“WOLF TRACKS”
Gray wolves (canis lupus) still roam across wilder regions of North America and Eurasia, inhabiting rain forests, boreal forests, arctic tundra, and ecosystems in between. These supremely adaptable and social predators live in packs, and primarily target weakened, younger, and older members of ungulate species such as caribou, moose, elk and deer residing within or near their territories. Evidence of scent marking can be seen to the bottom left of the front (larger) foot.

"CASTLE GEYSER"
Castle, one of the few predictable geysers in Yellowstone, is located in the Upper Geyser Basin, a short walk from its more famous relative, Old Faithful. Its cone, made of siliceous sinter, or geyserite, builds at the rate of about half an inch to one inch per century. Castle is one of the world’s oldest active geysers.

"GHOST TREES"
The constant emission of steam and vapor from thermal features alternately thaws and refreezes snow accumulating on Yellowstone’s plant communities, especially its trees. “Ghost trees” abound in the park’s thermal areas such as this one near Old Faithful. I was drawn to this scene by the shadow of the smallest tree in the picture. The Old Faithful area, Norris Geyser Basin, West Thumb Geyser Basin, and Canary Spring in Mammoth are traditionally good places to observe this phenomena.

"RAVEN CATCHING OLD FAITHFUL"
This picture was taken on a 45 degrees below zero Fahrenheit morning, yet this raven did not seem to mind the frigid temperatures. After Old Faithful's eruption shifted from its water to its steam phase, the raven scoured the open thermal stream to the left in search of food. It also did a very thorough job picking up crumbs and litter left behind by visitors. It is illegal to litter or feed all wildlife in Yellowstone National Park.

"WINTER VIEW FROM FISHING BRIDGE"
I worked as a park ranger here in the winter of 2001-02, and the view from this bridge was part of my daily commute. In winter, trumpeter swans and Barrow’s goldeneyes are often present in the Yellowstone River, and hardy herds of bison frequently use the bridge to cross the river.
