FITCH'S CORNER HORSE TRIALS
Fitch's Corner is located in Millbrook, NY in the center of the Millbrook Hunt Country. The farm operates as a private horse boarding facility and welcomes the community to enjoy the Fitch's Corner Horse Trials. We recently went there to photograph the horses jumping in the Cross Country event. There was also an antique car show which featured about 25 vehicles. Here's a few shots from the day...

YELLOWSTONE - ROOSEVELT CORRALS
On our way to Mammoth Hot Springs, we stopped at the Roosevelt Corrals which is reminiscent of the Old West. Here, we saw the most beautiful horses. We decided to take a stagecoach ride which was a nice way to see the landscape up close.
This picture was not taken at Roosevelt Corrals -- this was taken at a home in Idaho on our way to Salt Lake City, Utah.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - Bison Walking...
This was the most incredible site on our last day in the park. On our final drive through the park on our way to the West Side exit, we encountered these bison walking down the middle of the road. I panicked for a minute not knowing if I should turn around, stay still or drive through. Turns out, the bison are least afraid of the vehicles if they are moving...so we slowly drove through a herd of about 200 bison!!! This was such a thrill even though sometimes a little frightening.

YELLOWSTONE
Yellowstone is divided up into 5 main areas -- Canyon Village (where we stayed), Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs and Roosevelt Lodge. Each of these five areas can be a park in itself. Canyon Village is bordered by the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone; Yellowstone Lake is surrounded by beautiful mountains; Old Faithful is the world famous geyser; Mammoth Hot Springs is full of colorful hot pools and limestone terraces; and Roosevelt Lodge is full of volcanic hills and glacial valleys.

This bison settled himself in front of a cabin -- hope those folks didn't really want to get back in too soon...
This bison was using this tree to scratch his back.

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
This national forest covers 3.4 million acres and contains the highest peak in Wyoming -- Gannett Peak which is 13,804 feet high. There are over 2,500 miles of trails including 200 miles of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The snake river canyon is a beautiful corridor used for fishing, boating and whitewater rafting. You pass through this park when entering Yellowstone from the South Entrance. We were lucky to see a Moose very close up on our way through.
