Yellowstone Wildlife

One of the great things about visiting our national parks is to see wildlife indigenous to those areas. Such was the case during our recent trip to Yellowstone National Park.

I would have liked to have seen some wolves, but that wasn't in the cards.

Here's what we saw:

Elk.
