Day 3 was spent in Lamar Valley and expanses were amazing, Bison, Mountain Sheep, quiet hikes consumed the majority of the day. I did not see bears and the antelope were so far away there were no good shots... the next time. The mountain sheep was almost a mile away and kept moving.

The expanses of Lamar Valley are hard to explain, you must see it for yourself

Today I broke the first rule of hiking in Yellowstone. This is bear country, "Never hike by yourself"!!! It was beautiful at Pebble Creek and I as lucky.
I got tired of gray sky so I added some clouds and blue sky.
I did Chaw Pass
Saw this when I was done
I hike by the river the majority of the time
Every turn was so peaceful
Quite
The trail was hard to follow
At one time the river was high
Aand I am back
On to lunch as the Northeast gate
After lunch I was able to see some Mountain Sheep along Barronette Ski Trail. The Sheep were about a mile away. I was shooting sometime with a 1000 mm lens and the still looked far away.
This gives you a perspective

Gardiner, MT is the North entrance to Yellowstone. This is where I spent my third and 4 night . I walked to dinner from my lodge and the Elk were use to people being here.
