Wildlife




Our trip to the canyon started early. Significant geothermal activity was occuring on the road to Norris. Steam was everywhere and in several areas steaming water had flowed over the hillsides to the point where the streams were steaming in the early morning cool air. We also had a record day for wldlife sightings. A family of elk across the Madison river, two coyotes at Madison Juction and two magnificent bull elk with huge racks covered in moss? felt? soft looking stuff. On the trip to Billings on Saturday we were treated to two huge moose feeding in the stream next to the road. Unfortunatly all the shots are of poor quality because Mario Andretti WAS DRIVING and its very hard to get good photographs at 200 MPH.
