Moonlight Meanderings at Mammoth: Yellowstone National Park

Last July I was attending a family reunion in Yellowstone and saw that a full moon was occurring while we were camping near Mammoth Hot Springs. After scoping out the boardwalk trails in daylight to see which terraces were actively spouting hot water I enrolled some of my family to join me for a mad moonlight meander to see what we could see (and photograph). I took my new Nikon D600 FX camera but no tripod so all these shots are hand-held (sometimes I used the boardwalk fence as a support). We had a fantastic adventure exploring in the full moonlight in the cool of the night without crowds. Enjoy the photos!
