Blurred Rushing Stream on the Beartooth Highway - Wyoming

A mountain rushing stream passed under the Beartooth Highway as we traveled towards Yellowstone. I doubled back, parked beside the road and we hiked to an overlook of the waterfall. The mist in the air was fresh on our faces. The grey sky held the sun back enough that I could make a photo with the water blurred.

Wide Open Plains of Buffalo Gap National Grassland - Badlands National Park

Via Flickr:
As we approached our turn off to Badlands National Park, there was a lookout point overlooking Buffalo Gap National Grassland. The view went on forever it seemed. It is hard to convey that even with a wide angle lens.

A River Runs Through It - 320 Ranch - Gallatin National Forest - Montanna

We stayed at 320 Ranch for a conference. It was a beautiful location to be at. We had to cross the river to get on to the land of 320 Ranch. This was close to Big Sky, MT located within Gallatin National Forest.
