Went to Yellowstone NP yesterday for the first time ever (I know, I should have gone before)...lived up to expectations. I will say this, drive the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway (Or Highway if you prefer)...gorgeous drive, and would be fun if you're a fan of "Top Gear" (the real one).

View of Pilot Peak and Index Peak from the highway:

I do like the new spotting area at MSP. I've been fortunate enough to have people send me photos they've taken of me while landing.

Where are you taking these from? I always end up by the damn cell phone lot. All those rental cars and the fence are always in the way.....
 
I've been to the park twenty times and still have yet to see a Grizz!

Great shots!
Thanks! This one was in the Lamar Valley...a little further east, we got to see a mama + 2 cubs, but they were too far up the ridge to get with my camera. The only thing I didn't get to see was the wolves...they were in their den when we got there.

They just opened an official public spotting area right by the FedEx facility on Air Cargo Road.

I didnt realize the public could get back that far. It's like you are inside the field almost.... Thanks

Man, outstanding pics. Southern Alabama is so beautiful that time of the year. ;)

Just opened last fall. If you follow cargo road all the way to the end of the FedEx building you'll see the picnic tables. On the taxi diagram it's basically the intersection of M and W by 12R.

Man that's too cool. The Lamar Valley is beautiful in all seasons.
