We just returned from two wonderful weeks hiking and sightseeing in Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I hadn't been to Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons since I was a kid, nearly fifty years ago and then only briefly. I had completely forgotten how awe inspiring those mountains are and how humbling it is to be a little flyspeck on that vast landscape. In addition to the fantastic scenery we were very lucky to see both Grizzly and Black Bears, Moose, Elk, Wolves, Eagles and lots of Buffalo. One of the Bear encounters was particularly exciting because we had to quickly jump into our car when the big Grizzly charged up a hill and went right behind our car. I snapped the picture below out the back window as the Park Ranger was yelling and we were diving into our car.
