Yellowstone Sepia Snow | Firehole Falls

Yellowstone Sepia Snow | Firehole Falls  There’s nothing like Yellowstone in the winter.  It’s my favorite time to visit.  The falls are located about half a mile upstream from the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers at Madison Junction. With only a 40 foot drop, Firehole Falls aren’t real tall; just majestic, with unsurpassed rugged beauty.  The falls lie about a hundred feet below the road. It’s a bit of a decent and climb back up to get this shot; in fact, 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 one from the snow coach foolish enough 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.  For the whole story with all images, see Yellowstone Sepia Snow | a 7 Image Story.
