This is Buffalo Plateau at sunset. =]:)

This sunset reminded me of cotton candy as it's being spun around the cardboard cone at the county fair. =]:)

A pink sunset from last nights walk. Thankfully I live in the sticks, so social distancing is no problem. =]:)

This is my favorite time of day, when the sun sets behind the mountains, and the world gets still. Minds and bodies relax, and everything slows down little by little. Friends might gather for dinner, and then some dancing, or maybe sitting around a table with a drink or two, and stimulating conversation. You reminisce about the events of the day, and plan for the next. And then you go to sleep, and dream about a world like you wish it to be.

When you wake up tomorrow morning, decide that you will do something to make the world a bit closer to your dream. We can get there, one little dream, and one little step at a time. Peace. =]:)

Antler Peak

Antler Peak is a striking mountain peak in the Gallatin Range in Yellowstone National Park and rises to 10,063 feet. It has gone through some name changes over the years. The peak was originally named Bell's Peak in honor of an Assistant Secretary of the Interior by either Philetus Norris, the second park superintendent or W.H.Holmes, a U.S. Geological Survey geologist in 1878. However in 1885, Arnold Hague of the U.S. Geological Survey renamed the peak Antler Peak because of the numerous shed elk and deer antlers found on its slopes. I heartily approve of the name!

Although Antler Peak can be seen from the Grand Loop Road as it passes through Swan Lake Flats and the Indian Creek area, there are no maintained trails to the summit. The Bighorn Pass Trail, with its trailhead at Indian Creek passes about 2 miles north of the peak.

Dome Mountain

Dome Mountain, also in the Gallatin Range is 9,826 feet and just as impressive in the sunset light. =]:)

Last night's sunset at Yellowstone Lake.

It was a really gorgeous day in the park yesterday, not too hot and not too cool. Yellowstone Lake was very calm, so I decided to take a photo of the sunset to end a fun day. I hope you enjoy it too. =]:)

Let's go for a nice, relaxing ride.

The Grand Loop Road provides access to major areas and features of Yellowstone park, including the Upper, Midway and Lower geyser basins, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Fall, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Lake.

Captain Hiram M. Chittenden of the US Army Corps of Engineers was the one who originally planned the 140 mile road system in the early days of the park, when it was under military administration. The road was named by Harry W. Frantz in 1923. He served as the park's publicist before beginning a journalism career.
