This is the Grizzly Bear mother that we saw between our campsite at Indian Creek and Mammoth Hot Spring. She had four cubs, which is very rare.
She seemed to plod along while the cubs bounced around her all the time. We thought that having four cubs probably made her life pretty difficult.
Here Katy got one of the cubs standing up out of the grass.
These are some elk that we saw headed toward Mammoth Hot Spring. This area was the prime place to see elk in the park and they were everywhere, even in amongst the buildings at the Mammoth Village.
This bull elk was the only one that we saw during our visit that had antlers. We had to stand around for a few minutes before he would lift his head up enough for Katy to get a good picture of his antlers. He was actually very close to the road.
We finally saw our first moose on the second day. He was in typical moose form, standing in a shallow pond, grazing on plants in and around the water.
There was a short drive loop where we saw a petrified tree stump that was still standing.
This is Tower Falls near the Roosevelt Lodge on the Northeast side of the park.
Here is me extending my snowball making streak to the 20th of June. I actually had the chance to make one on the first day of summer, but we didn't stop to make one.
Pretty much all day this day, it was cloudy and rainy. Most of our pictures we tried to get in the sunny parts where we actually got out of the car.
