Monday - Driving to Yellowstone

Monday morning we started on our drive back up the Snake River to Jackson, through the Teton National Park, and into southern Yellowstone. The drive took us about 6 hours to reach West Thumb for all the stops we made along the way. After visiting the geyser basin we continued west toward Old Faithful and our first night's lodging in the Snow Lodge cabins.

I reprocessed this image, originally done with HDR, by layering and tonemapping the source files by hand. The results are much better than my first copy.
