Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake is North America's largest mountain lake:  20 miles long, 14 miles wide, and 430 feet deep at its deepest point.  It reminded us of Lake Constance in the Alps--huge lake surrounded by beautiful mountains.


We spent time at Yellowstone Lake on the day we left the park.  Then, we headed for the Tetons. 

About a mile or two from the exit of the park, we encountered our only close bear sighting:  A medium-sized black bear ran directly in front of the truck.  Alan had to react quickly, swerving hard to avoid hitting it.
