There were signs like this wherever there were large concentrations of bison around. It was the last day in the park before I managed to get a picture of one.
Here are the bison that they were warning everyone about. This is actually one of the few times we saw a bunch of bison together. Normally they kept in small groups of about 2-4 and a lot of times were off by themselves. This was the only time we saw any young bison though. The young are the lighter colored ones.
This was only our second moose of our Yellowstone adventure and it was as we were leaving the park at the entrance. He looks like he is looking right at the camera.
We also finally got a picture of Tucker with the sign on our way out of the park.
After having only seen 2 moose the entire 3 days, we saw our third only a couple of miles after seeing the second one. This was actually outside the boundary of Yellowstone. This one appears to be a little younger than the other two we saw.
Western Wyoming had a lot of visible rock formations that were labeled to show how old and during what periods they were formed. We passed by one formation that had been dated during the Pre-Cambrian period at 2.5 billion years old.
This was the Shell Falls that we saw in the Bighorn National Forest on our way through Wyoming. It was very cool and apparently helps supply the west-central Wyoming area with a lot of power and irrigation.
We went up to an elevation of 9,330 feet at Granite Pass before we started to come down again. This was the second highest elevation of our trip after Monarch Pass in Colorado at 11,312 feet.
We stayed the night in Buffalo, WY, a town of about 8,500 people.
