Jason Campbell's Snapshots

  1. Teewinot

    meaning "maning peaks". At 12325 ft elevation Teewinot is lower than the 13770 Grand Teton behind it, but from the Jenny Lake area and Inspiration Point it dominates the skyline.

  3. Lower Falls, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

    Lower Falls, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Artists Point, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    Thousands of cubic feet per second crash over the brink and plummet 308 feet to the canyon below. This is believed to be the second most photographed spot in Yellowstone, behind Old Faithful.

  4. Plywood shutters

    Plywood shutters by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan White Grass Dude Ranch, Grand Teton National Park by Jason Campbell

    The windows of the structures, in various stages of rehabilitation, are all covered in plywood. Some, like this big window on one of the larger buildings, are hinged to open, others just boarded over.

    Didn't the illuminati hide something under a glass pyramid?

    Which Geyser Next? by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    Keep in mind the gigapan takes some minutes to acquire, so this guy was photographed long after Old Faithful started going off.

    You've got to arrive early to get a space on a bench, though. Everyone else sits on the boardwalk itself or stands.

    Even if you haven't read the latest eruption prediction at the ranger hut or one of the hotels, you can estimate the time to the next eruption of Old Faithful indirectly by observing the number of people waiting with cameras out on the boardwalk. Once it's wall-to-wall people (even in the early season as here) it's ready to go.

  18. Ferry

    Ferry by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Inspiration Point, above Jenny Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming (High Res) by Jason Campbell

    There is a beautiful trail all around Jenny Lake, as well as a ferry across it that runs every 15 minutes. This is one of two boats coming to take the last group of folks back at 4pm. Since we missed the last boat we walked the 2 miles back to the parking lot. The views were gorgeous, but the snow-covered trail was less fun than we would have liked.

    The pan just missed this badger, who ran across the rock at just the right time. All you see is the last bit of black fur disappearing behind the rock.

    oldest surviving by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Only (Continuously) Surviving Herd of Bison in North America, near Old Faithful Geyer, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    Apparently the other buffalo herds were all hunted to near extinction, leaving this one as the last continuously intact herd.

    I wondered, given the danger of humans plunging through crusts over the thermal areas into boiling waters how many buffalo a year die from scalding, but found no statistics on this. Perhaps the buffalo don't yearn to get as close to the geysers, thermal vents, hot springs, and fumaroles as humans do.

  28. The Old Faithful Inn

    The Old Faithful Inn by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Only (Continuously) Surviving Herd of Bison in North America, near Old Faithful Geyer, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    One of the world's largest log buildings. Designed by a 29 year old Ohio native. Not to be confused with the Old Faithful Lodge, a newer building across the way.

    The ambience in the towering lobby and vaulted dining room are wonderful by day and by night. Plan to hang out in the hotel some one evening if you come. Some guest rooms are said to have poor sound-isolation but we (in one of the extension wings) didn't have a problem.

  31. boardwalks

    boardwalks by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Only (Continuously) Surviving Herd of Bison in North America, near Old Faithful Geyer, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    In thermal areas, the ground can be a thin crust over scalding waters, and the extent of these subterranean dangers changes over time. To make it safe to get close enough to see the geysers well, the park service builds a variey of hard-surface trails, including raised boardwalks like these.

  32. baby bison

    baby bison by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Only (Continuously) Surviving Herd of Bison in North America, near Old Faithful Geyer, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    So cute, you just want to go pet them! But that would be a bad idea, since buffalo can weigh half a ton, run 30 mph, and will defend their offspring.

    Plus it's against park rules. Apparently people do get hurt doing stupid things like trying to take pictures of themselves riding the buffalo.

    read the sign. Sorry about the stitching problems, either the stitcher goofed or my optical centering of the camera is not nearly as good as I thought it was!

    We were sorry to miss seeing this one, as it's supposed to fling a stream of water across the Firehole River.

  38. Giant Geyser

    Giant Geyser by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Giant Geyser, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    The "rock" formation here is called a "sinter cone" and accumulates at a rate of a few inches a century.

    Giant was formant until 1955 and is slowly becoming more active. Nonetheless, it is not predictable and I didn't wait around for the next eruption (of which there were 45 in 2006). The eruptions can reach 250 ft, though, so it would be spectacular.

  39. Firehole River

    Firehole River by Jason Campbell from the GigaPan Giant Geyser, Yellowstone National Park by Jason Campbell

    The Firehole River flows through Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin, past Old Faithful. This area is home to the majority of the world's active geysers.
