One man, one turbocharged Swedish sports car, and 792 miles of open highway with just one destination: Yellowstone National Park. The temperature sits in the 60s and 70s under partly cloudly skies for the longest leg of my journey, taking just under 12 hours.
	Park Headquarters at Mammoth lies just a few miles inside the northern entrance. Here I caught my first glimpse of wildlife, finding an entire herd of Moose sitting on the lawn. A short distance up the road are the brilliant white deposits of Minerva Terrace. Impressive boardwalks surround many of the displays here and throughout the park.
	The Tower area hosts several notable features. Lying on the northern edge of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone river, you can see striking large and well defined rows of columnar basalt and observe the deep green hue of the river. A short walk will bring you to the base of beautiful Tower Falls.
	To the east of Tower, you'll come upon a majestic broad river valley. Though not large, I saw dozens of fishermen along and in the Lamar River. The Lamar Valley was set aside years ago to help preserve the Bison population in the park, and includes a Bison Ranch. A bit further northeast lies the tranquil Pebble Creek.
	Home to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, Canyon Campground served as a home base for three nights of my stay in the park. Compared to Mount Rainier NP, Canyon is a metropolis, featuring a gas station, two restaurants, several stores, and a post office! Nearby the Yellowstone River drops 308 feet over the highest waterfall in the park, viewed from such aptly names locations as Inspiration Point and Artist Point.
	All-out assault on your olifactory sense awaits you here, just off the road between Canyon and West Thumb. Though the same can be said for many other areas of the park, nowhere is the scent of sulphur so strong as near the boiling muddy waters surrounding Mud Volcano, which itself is not nearly so spectacular as the name would imply.
	On the southwestern shore of enormous Yellowstone Lake, an assortment of beautiful hot pools dazzles in the sun. Many reach nearly 190 degrees Farenheit, some as deep as 50 feet. Be careful where you stand, depending on the direction of the wind, you could be in for a steam bath! The crystal clear blue lake makes for a spectacular backdrop to the pools, don't miss this one!
	Perhaps no single feature is associated with Yellowstone more than Old Faithful Geyser. While my time spent near this particular geyser was limited, it was nevertheless quite splendid and near picture perfect. On the road to the north, you'll come across several more interesting features, including Excelsior Geyser Crater, Grand Prismatic Spring, and Fountain Paint Pot.
	A dozen miles west of Canyon lies the largest geyser basin in the park. I managed to pick the worst day to visit, as it was in the upper 30s and snowing for a good part of the day, hailing and raining the rest. However, there were enough breaks in the weather for me to enjoy the key features of this unique area.
	And here we come to the final category, for now, in my photograhic tour of Yellowstone! See the marina on the lake, a blizzard from Dunraven Pass, several smaller waterfalls, the Artist Paint Pots, and grandiose views from numerous locations.
