Firehole Falls at Yellowstone NP

Firehole Falls at Yellowstone NP

Firehole Falls at Yellowstone NP  There’s nothing like Yellowstone in the winter.   It’s my favorite time to visit the park; wish I was there.  Firehole Falls at Yellowstone NP lies about a hundred feet below the road.  It’s a bit of a decent and climb back up to get this shot; it’s dangerous.  Actually, the rangers have now blocked off the way down to the river.  Probably, too many people were falling; it’s really steep.  I was the only fool from the snow coach to make the trip to the river bottom.   I would not try it again without an experienced climbing buddy and a rope.  Once along the river, what a reward.  Firehole Falls aren’t real tall; just majestic.   To capture this image, I used a tripod with its feet in the water.  The river bank hugs the canyon wall so there’s not much room to maneuver.  I tried to fall in the river, but luckily was unsuccessful.  By the way, this image is not a B&W.
