The lower left picture in this collage shows how the area got its name. We went to the falls on the first full day in Yellowstone. The cliffs around the falls are this yellow stone. You are very high up when you take these pictures. By the end of our time there I had nosebleeds.
The other pictures are of the geyser basin. Some of the land is terraced with mineral deposits, like the top right. In other places you see steam coming up from the ground near the edge of trees and grass. If I had been an indian, I would have spent my winters there. You would have to get used to the smell though. Sulfur.
Click on the buffalo sign and read. Notice the word "GORED". We read the sign after we had walked the boardwalk trail. There was a buffalo on the side of the boardwalk just lying there for a little rest. Mother-in-Law even took pictures up close of it. Nice.
