Beautiful Yellowstone Lake:-)

Yellowstone is a national treasure of nature's most wondrous beauty. It has an abundance of wildlife and the gifts that Mother Nature as bestowed us. Since the natural catastrophic volcanic eruptions that have occurred here over 600,000 years ago. The most spectacular formations have been created because of these eruptions that the magmatic heat powering them still powers the park's famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots. The grandeur of the canyons are a testimony to natures desire to bloom and grace us with the gifts. Yellowstone was established in 1872 as the world's first national park.

This is Yellowstone Lake that encompasses 132 square miles 20 miles long 14 miles wide with 141 miles of shoreline....Wow.....and one of the largest lakes in North Amercia. I am so happy I took a picture of it!

It's amazing how nature can recover!

We were lucky because their weren't a lot of people during this visit. I think it was because we visited not soon have the horrendous 1988 fire season and people thought the park hadn't recovered. Nature is amazing and life did return not soon after that!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Breath taking for everyone enjoy!
  • Cons:None if your prepared.
  • In a nutshell:Every one should see this beautiful place!

    I drove by Yellowstone once, but it was the middle of January and the park was closed. Thanks for this view of one of America's favorite parks. Cheers, Mark

    My first encounter with Yellowstone was the Yogi Bear, the second one was today with you but the real one is still waiting for me. Best. L.

    Great Page! I just drove through the edge of the park. It was a weekend in July and I did not want to fight the crowds.
