Yellowstone National Park: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River

Lower Falls, 308' roaring with winter snow melt.

The American explorer John Muir wrote of the High Sierra's:

'We are now in the mountains and they are in us…'

I so appreciate his sentiment, each time I am exposed to the mountains whether its the Coast Range, the Sierra Nevada's, the Cascade Range, the Rockies, I am in awe and feel energised by their majesty.

Day 3 in Yellowstone and we drove the Grand Loop.

One of the highlights of the park is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River with its impressive waterfalls and steep colorful canyon walls.

Colorful canyon walls from blinding white to deep ochre.
