Shortly after the entrance, it will be the 45 degree parallel sign. Other landmarks such as the Continental Divide traverses the Grand loop Road three

Morning fog is still lifting.
Mammoth Hot Springs is a fairly large area. There is an Upper Terrace Loop Drive later, very enjoyable.
Majestic Mt. Everts
Mammoth Hot Springs is an attractive spot, evidence by the amount of building it induced. The Park's headquarters is near by. The road from North
Entrance to Northeast Entrance is open year round. The rest of the grand loop road is closed Nov. 3 or mid October.

Upper Terraces Loop lets you observe the springs and deposits up close without having to get out of your car.
Junipers are one of many good survivors on the Upper Terrace. Their trunks got abrased by the big animals, tilted by the wind and yet, new growth
always comes through under the break and killed parts. Viva, Juniper!

| The Golden Gate In Yellowstone it is the natural cliff wall glistening with gold |
Gardner River flows north along the upper half of the NW Grand Loop Road. At Golden Gate, it presents a neat waterfall.
| Fallen Rock 100 Yard Detour I drove pass this peculiar pile of rocks and found them irristable, so I U turned and went though the unofficially named detour. 也許是蘇東坡的'亂石崩雲'在我腦中作祟. |
This pine grew its roots into the rock layer and

What tenacity!

A Robin is still warming up in the cold morning, ( in the 40s) near Nymph Lake.
Yellowstone's north entrance has a wide open yellow hills, gradually lead into higher mountains of yellow rocks and Mammoth Hot Spring. You'll
then be greeted with the glistening Golden Gate. Grant Loop Road will take you to all the interesting sites, geysers, canyons and waterfalls. I
think the north entrance is an ideal entrance, that it gives a great visual impact. Especially if you go through the Memorial Arch of President
Theodore Roosevelt, which engraved: For the Benefit and Enjoyment of People.
Yellowstone is an old volcanic area, sights like geysers, springs, and mud pots are all related to the geothermal activity.
This page covers the North Entrance and North West part of the Grand Loop Road.
