A drive through the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park offers visitors a chance to view rivers, rolling hills, and rugged mountains towering over the landscape and watching over the wildlife that calls this park home.
Did you know that the lower falls of Yellowstone River, at 308 feet, is the tallest waterfall next to a road? Along with Old Faithful geyser, it's probably one of the most-photographed spots in Yellowstone National Park.
Named in the 1880's after the morning glory flower, the colors of Morning Glory Pool have changed considerably, from a clear, sapphire blue to a much greener hue, due to a drop in temperature and orange and yellow bacteria spreading toward the center of the pool.
In Yellowstone National Park, sometimes autumn lasts for only a few days before snowy, winter-like weather takes over. The Firehole River runs through Upper Geyser Basin and, along with the geysers and hot sptings, produces steamy scenes in freezing weather.
