Trout lake and Yellowstone lake

Today we took a short hike around Trout Lake. There were reports of moose in the area, but unfortunately, we did not see any. The view of the mountains reflecting off the water was just gorgeous. And there were lots of wildflowers around the path. We saw several ground squirrels scampering around. They were really cute to watch. When we got to the portion where the little river runs into the lake, we saw lots of cutthroat trout spawning. That was pretty interesting to watch.

After that short hike, we took a drive to the east entrance of Yellowstone. Along the way we passed a couple of pronghorns. And we drove up to the overlook of Yellowstone Lake. Man that lake is huge. It is the largest high elevation Lake at 7,773 feet. We also saw a mama bear and 2 cubs and got a picture of a cute marmot sunning himself on the rock.Læs mere
