Should have posted these yesterday with the other photos, but I was running late and had to get to work. On our last day in Yellowstone, we had a long drive back to Seattle, but elected to drive through the park one more time to see what would could see. Last Sept when we did this, we had a grizzly walk right in front of our car and saw Big Horn Sheep for the first time. This time, we were not so lucky; only seeing a mountain blue bird and getting stuck in a rather large Bison jam along the road to Madison. Since we had the extra time and the extra hour we gained driving west, we took a quick break at the Columbia River Gorge for the wonderful views and pretty flowers near the parking lot (mom had never seen this view in the daylight).
