What do you do when the air at home is so choked with forest fire smoke that it’s dangerous to go outside? Evacuate to somewhere that isn’t on fire. Or, at least somewhere that keeps it’s fire underground, like Yellowstone National Park! Bubbling, steaming, geysering and percolating – the waters in the Yellowstone valley create an amazingly beautiful environment.
Here are a couple photo galleries from our visit!
No filters or color adjustments here. These photos were taken at high noon on a cloudless day ... with a crazy amount of forest fire smoke in the atmosphere.
