We left the Tetons and headed into Yellowstone National Park on August 1st and departed on August 6th. We decided to take a Wildlife Photo Safari on the 7th. Our guide, Barrett, was outstanding. We saws lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife, and learned a little something about photography. Barrett was an excellent guide - he actually won the National Geographic photo contest in 2010; his winning photo was included in the December 2010 issue of the magazine (check out his website at www.bearheadphoto.com) [FYI - his winning photo is the grizzly in the water running toward the camera].
