Thanks everyone, we had a great time as usual. We like going this time of year because everything is coming out of the winter slumber. The Mammoth area at the north end of the park was warm and dry most of the time. The higher elevations near Old Faithful, Canyon and Yellowstone Lake still had snow. So you get the best of both worlds winter and spring depending on which area of the park you were at.
The night before we left the Canyon area received six inches of new snow. The road between Tower Junction and Canyon, Dunraven Pass, was closed the whole week we were there due to the amount of snow that they had to remove yet. There's still a ton of snow that has to melt and is going to cause a lot of problems down the road.
I'm going to post some pictures of the flooding going on in my neck of the woods.

Heading to Yellowstone over the Independence Day holiday. We rented a house about 20 miles north of the gate.

I love that part of the country. I get to spend my summers in the Big Horns about 100 miles from there. It's nature's wonder.

Saw Guitarpix's post on the hike he and his family took, so I thought I would post a couple of pics from Yellowstone. Wife and I were there for a week visiting family, her oldest son and youngest daughter work in the park. Jim works for the National Park Service repairing trails and the boardwalks. Jessica works for Xanterra the company that runs some of the gift shops and restaurants in the park.
