Thursday I went with my American Humanities class to Yellowstone and then to Cody, Wyoming to see the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. In class we'd been discussing what painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson must have seen the first time they came to Yellowstone in 1871. The trip was great because we went to parts of Yellowstone I'd never gone to before, or at least I don't remember, and it was perfect weather the whole day.
This is a view of part of the Grand Canyon from Artist's Point.
This is a view of Lowe Falls from Artist's Point. We were supposed to go down to the falls but the road was closed.
We did get to go down by one of the falls, but this is nearly as big as the Lower Falls. We got to stand right above them.
Outside the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody there was this statue of Buffalo Bill. I ended up not taking any pictures inside the museum, mostly because I was afraid my flash would go off and I would get in trouble. The museum had five exhibits and all were amazing.
On our way back through Yellowstone, we stopped at one area that had boiling paint pots and this geyser. It was the perfect time of day.
Before the sun went down I able to catch the light off of the springs.

It looks like you had a fun trip. I would love to take our family on a fun trip to Yellowstone. I miss college sometimes! It was fun to hear from you!
