Description

This is the angle and the time of day to really see the rocks that give Yellowstone its name. The Yellowstone River has carved this dramatic canyon through a zone of hydrothermally altered and weakened post-caldera rhyolites. If you look closely, you can even find active hydrothermal vents (look for steam) down along the river. I think that if I were shooting this one again I'd have shot a little more on each side to square the image up a bit, but most of all I wanted to capture a view that illustrated the entire canyon from top to bottom.
