While not quite in Yellowstone National Park, Pilot and Index peaks dominate the skyline near the Northeast Entrance and Silver Gate. I could not find any information on how they got their names, but they are obvious landmarks visible for miles, and I am sure were used as such by early settlers and explorers.

Moose: Floating Island Lake, Yellowstone National Park, September 2024 — Mom moose seemed to prefer the reeds under the water…perhaps because they were more tender. In this portrait the colors make or break it…the autumn tones of the reeds, the early morning sun, the reflections in the water. And it is, of course both head-and-shoulders and over-the-shoulder. 🙂 Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
