I think the alpine level is 5000 and Tahoe is somewhere around 6000. <br /><br />The size of Yellowstone is a little overwhelming. Next time we might plan a week in each area--if we have the time. :>)<br /><br />Big EZ Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042182363320148353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258253640413095518.post-33743177722590694922013-09-24T06:50:16.986-07:002013-09-24T06:50:16.986-07:00Was that jeans and a jacket you were wearing?

When we were at Grizzly it didn't matter, we couldn't connect at all from our site. We're going to have to put Livingston on the list of places to visit. It looks like a cool place for a couple of days.

When we rode thru Yellowstone in May 2011, the west side wasn't open...Yellowstone Lake was still frozen over. We were on the Harley and nearly froze! Sounds like we need to return. I can't decide which is prettier...the Sapphire Pool or the or the Grand Prismatic Spring. I thought your photo of the waterfall was beautiful...can't wait for Plan B. The same thing happened to us when we were in Durango...5 days of rain!

I could never shoot such a magnificent animal but I guess I couldn't shoot any animal. I didn't know Yellowstone Lake was the biggest alpine lake west of the Mississippi. I was told it was Lake Tahoe was the largest in North America. Guess they are both claiming it. :-) We too found Yellowstone to be a HUGE place with way more than we could do in a week. We stayed at two different campgrounds in the park which only lessened our driving a little. Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.com
