We got an early start on Saturday morning anticipating a full day in Yellowstone. Our destination for the evening was the Roughrider Cabins at Roosevelt Lodge in the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park. The light was nice all day and we made several stops along the way including: West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Lake, Hayden Valley, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, Yellowstone Falls, and Dunraven Pass. Even with all the stops, we arrived at our destination early and were able to kick our feet up for a while and relax on the front porch of the Roosevelt Lodge. By 4:30 we were all famished and headed inside for a satisfying meal of bison steaks and elk burgers. After dinner we went out on the Lamar Valley for an evening shoot. Also known as the Serengeti of the East, the Lamar Valley is full of bison, elk, wolves, bear, etc. We were treated with some dramatic light and herds of bison in every direction. We also witnessed a wolf hunting two pronghorn antelope. Visiting the Lamar Valley is like stepping back in time hundreds, if not thousands, of years. You get a sense of the primordial. We all tipped our hats to our forefathers and their vision to protect places like this.
