Yellowstone Isn't All Geysers!

Forest fires in Yellowstone break up the lodgepole pine monoculture and open up land for other plants and animals.


Bighorn sheep feeding above a cliff of columnar basalt in Yellowstone National Park.
We spent last night at ghost town of Bannock, MT, and didn't see single ghost!

This morning we dug for quartz crystals at Crystal Park, and now we're in Missoula, on our way towards Glacier National Park!

    They're female bighors (with less curvy horns). Mountain goats are white. I'm uploading a picture of one to my Flickr photostream:
