Yellowstone Falls

After our time at Madison Junction we drove up to Canyon Village and made a stop at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. It is a beautiful spot that I just loved. I used a split grad filter to get the great clouds and bright sky to the same exposure as the darker canyon. Without the filter either the sky would have been blown out or the canyon would have been to dark.

Yellowstone Wildlife

While we were out driving around enjoying the sites, we were lucky enough to spot some wildlife. Next to Madison River we watched as a coyote was on the hunt for some food. He would stalk his prey slowly and then when the time was right take a leap in the air and pounce on his meal. We watched Bison grazing on grass and lounging around, and just before dark we saw a nice Bull Elk eating dinner. I wish I was back there right now!
