Yellowstone, 9/18

Looking down into Lewis Canyon; it is over 300' deep. The trees on either side of the canyon were destroyed in the wildfires of 1988. Those fires burned over 800,000 acres of Yellowstone (most of the southern and western parts of the park). Eventhough it appears to be total devasation in this picture, the lodgepole pines started to grow back almost immediately after the fires and most are now between 12-20 feet tall.

I cannot remember the name of this waterfall. Dea might, but she is asleep already.
