Panorama of the Green Fertile Valley Along the Road Traveling West From Northeast Gate. Buffalo Herd Grazes On The Open Pasture-Like Grasslands.
“It seemed an enormous museum with exhibits carefully manicured to give the illusion of reality, but nicely chained off so that children would not injure them. People entered the park and became polite and cozy and fakey to each other because the atmosphere of the park made them that way. Route 212, NE corner of
Yellowstone National Park, WY. As the panorama opens you see the highway West. On the right of the highway you see a long low hill. This is probably a "glacial moraine" (pile of dirt) pushed ahead and deposited by an ancient glacier. The last Glacial Age was about 10,000 years ago, so of course the ice has long since melted. To see a male Buffalo Bull, scroll just beyond (1/2 pt). Where you will see it to right of the highway. To see the Buffalo Herd, you will have to keep scrolling (till 3/4 pt) where you see the river. Although the low lush grass is great for the buffalo, the grasslands somehow look as the product of a lawnmower!
