Continental Divide sign
All rivers in the world either flow directly or indirectly into the Atlantic or the Pacific Oceans. The Great Divide is an imaginary 'line' which runs north to south from Alaska through South America. Those rivers on the west side of the Divide, run into the Pacific Ocean; those on the east side run into the Atlantic.

Fishing Bridge on the Yellowstone River. Don't be fooled by its name. Fishing is actually not allowed from the bridge.

Old Faithful Inn
Old Faithful Inn
You can't visit the Old Faithful grounds without stepping into the hotel that is there, the Old Faithful Inn. Have coffee or lunch; or, just sit awhile and admire the massive rustic design which immediately drops your jaw when you walk in. The foyer is seven stories high, and the material is all natural. The architect is Robert Reamer.

a buck along side the road
We saw a good share of female elk and deer, but the males remained pretty much elusive the whole time we were there, save this young buck.
Firehole Gorge

Firehole Gorge
In the midst of all the geyser basins in south central Yellowstone runs the Firehole Canyon. Its gorge and cascading waterfalls are a soothing relief from the exploding and spewing geysers.
