You have already heard that there has been increased seismic activity at Yellowstone National Park over the last few days. Since December 26th, there have been several earthquakes a day, some jut over 3.0 magnitude, in the vicinity of the north side of Yellowstone's lake. This is a seismically…
The Riverside Geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone National Park's iconic "Old Faithful" geyser is pretty faithful. It can be counted on to erupt every 50-90 minutes. Iceland's "Great Geysir," from which all other geysers get their name…
I am back from our trip into the Mountain West - and it was great (see some of the pictures below). We hit Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, the Tobacco Root Mountains, Glacier and Craters of the Moon - and the weather held out on us just fine.

Brian, you have a great catalog of photos. Do you have a favorite National or State Park?
Thanks, Jeff. Believe it or not, the photos I have been sharing during the last month have all come from my first trip out west to Utah and Wyoming. Next year it will be Yosemite, Death Valley, &c., so I will have taken a better sample by time I complete that trip. :)
That said, I really enjoyed my time in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem (which included Grand Teton). I quite liked Dinosaur National Monument, as well.
Brian, on my motorcycle trips I missed the central and northern parts of Utah. And from your photos I missed a lot. In the next year I hope to visit them. I wouldn't be surprised that they are your photos, I've had 2 trips out West and I accumulated over 3000 pictures.
I loved Yellowstone because of its size. I think a person could spend a year there and not see everything. It is truly Wonderland.
If you have the opportunity next year, visit White Mountain and the Bristle Cone Pines of the Inyo National Forest.
I'm looking forward too more of your great photos.
I know that I should on some level be awed by the greater variety of interesting geological features that Yellowstone represents but I can't help but be floored by the imposing mountains of the Tetons. Tetons for the win!
