During the trip we saw many flowers some are common, but I liked the colors. Hope you enjoy the different flowers.

Animals
During our trip we viewed a number of domesticated animals including horses, (milk) cows, cattle, sheep, llamas, alpaca, and others I fail to mention. We also saw these long horned cattle in the Wyoming and Montana areas.
And big horned mountain goats, several of them, this one walking across the road in front of the bus.
You can see this mountain goat on the top of a rugged crest just before it went over and down on the other side.
A robin with a mouth full.
Geese all in a row. A few adults watching many yearlings.
This bird was in a nest in the tree.
Lizards are usually hard to find let alone have them stop long enough to take a picture. Here are several, all different, beginning with this horny lizard.
How about this stripped lizard.
We saw a moose. Someone made a good catch.
Mules were pulling a replica of a stagecoach in Jackson, Wyoming.
Some sort of marmot or groundhog or prairie dog also in the Jackson, Wyoming town center.
Bison relaxing and trying to keep warm by a hot steam geyser in the cool morning.
A group of Bison following the herd leader through one of the geyser basins. We just got off the bus and many of us went to the front of the bison "line".
I think this is the matriarch or patriarch, anyway it is the bison that was leading the others through the geyser basin.
Shortly after leaving Yellowstone NP, we finally saw the Grizzley Bear we've been looking for.
Just before moma bear ran off with her cub, she was standing up sniffing around.
This is the only snake we saw, only this one was stuffed and in a glass case.
We saw a number of these pronghorn antelope.
Including this small herd. Notice the small ones with the center mother.
Prairie dogs.
Deer.
Elk
Fox
And rabbits.
We saw many animals and these are only a sample of those we saw on our trip.

Badlands
We were in the Band Lands for only a few hours, but the landscapes are more like we were on another planet.
It is also here in the Badlands that we saw the mountain goats, these you can see in the extra animal pictures in another post.
We also saw a number of mountain goats while in the Bad Lands. Please see the "Animals" posting where I have a couple picture of the mountain goats .
