Lamar Valley in Winter

In Summer, the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone is a refuge from the crowds of cars and crazed tourists seeking their quick sighting of ____ (fill in the blank with bear, bison, elk, geyser, etc).  In Winter by contrast it is the only driveable stretch of road in the park, once one leaves the Mammoth metro area.  The remainder of the Park's roads are not plowed and can only be travelled via snowcoach or snowmobile. 

Here are some pix from my drive through Lamar last Friday afternoon.  Enjoy.


Electric Peak Early Morning--ok so this isn't in Lamar
but I pass this view every morning when I drive
from upper Mammoth to the HRC in Gardiner



OK, on to Lamar...
