Tour of Yellowstone - Artist Point


After lunch at the Old Faithful Inn, a superb example of Parkitecture, we moved on towards Yellowstone Lake, which is the highest lake of this size in the US. The scenery is breathtaking, after every bend and turn in the road, a new picture-perfect scene unfolds.


From here, we followed the Yellowstone River to the Upper and Lower Falls. At Artist Point we had a perfect view of the canyon and the falls. Again, words cannot begin to describe what you see. People gather on the terrace and cameras flash left and right.


Over a hundred years ago, a landscapist painted what lies before us and brought it to Washington to convince the government that this valley was worth protecting. What a wonderful idea that was!
