A cold morning coming from the Yellowstone into Paradise Valley, Montana

Fog rolling in early morning in the Blacktail Basin

Well with the  temperature expected to drop into the low teens this next week I wanted to brace you folks for my upcoming winter photography with some autumn pictures from my trip into the Blacktail Basin of
Yellowstone NP.

This fog goes through old burnt up forest from the giant fire of '88

Highway 89 South with the Emigrant Peak in the pack drop...notice the snow?

A tighter shot of the Peak

Does this look cold and lonely to you?

The Yellowstone River meanders right smack dab in the middle of the entire Paradise Valley, Montana

Those are the Absorka Mountains peaking out of the morning cloud fog cover in the Paradise Valley

Crazzzzzzy Mountains with Bollo

The entrance into the East side of the Crazy Mountains out of Big Timber, Mt.

My buddy Mike alias Bollo came out from California to do some hiking with me.
We went to Tom Miner Basin, Lamar Valley in Yellowstone, Pine Creek Trail and the Crazy Mountains....here is the fruits of our hard work in the Crazy mountains.

Blacktail Trailhead with Undine and Wraith Falls

This was the was the moonrise view from the front of our cabin.

Back again from within Yellowstone NP and this time some pictures of the beautiful Blacktail Trailhead area and the Undine and Wraith waterfalls.

This area was a graveyard of elk bones.

I bet the Native Americans use to love whacking some big game in this area.

Some of the leftovers..

This is my trick shot. 3 close up photos of the falls then spliced together with Photoshop.
I hope it works for you folks.
