All taken with D5300 and Tamron 18-400 with CPL. No "animal jams" last 2 trips, so concentrated on the scenery. No PP.
Beautiful! I loved going through Yellowstone.
Must be a challenge to get to the Upper Falls by sunrise.
Actually the Upper Falls are quite accessible being located just off the main road and near the Canyon Lodge and Artist's Point is not far from there. One of my favorite spots in Yellowstone. Uncle Tom's Trail near Upper Falls is a great hike down the vertical side of the canyon via a metal staircase which gives you wonderful photographic opportunities of the Upper Falls.
In the early history of Yellowstone, Uncle Tom, a park ranger would guide groups down the canyon wall on a rope. Today's staircase is much better, although not quite the same adventure.
First thing you need to know is time for sunrise so that you don't get there too early and it's still dark (like I did)! Next thing is to dress for the cold, which I didn't! :( In spite of my goofs it was well worth the effort and time. Uncle Tom is closed at present for repairs.
