After eating lunch I stopped at the visitor’s center across the street. I stepped out the back door to the lake and was amazed.
I was trying to think of how to explain it. The lake is huge with a sand beach. It reminds me of the ocean more than a lake. On my right is a green meadow lined with pines. Across the lake mountains, tall scrape the sky mountains. They are covered with snow with fingers of snow reaching to the lake. On the far left, pointed rock pinnacles, sharp and stark. This is the highest large lake in the world, almost 8000 Ft high.
Then I see rain approaching from the right quickly moving across the lake followed by clear blue sky.
Wow. Am I ready to leave Yellowstone?
