Fire Burn - Yellowstone 2008 © 2008 Alan Schrank
Along the road running from Mammoth to Two Towers, look for Blacktail Plateau Drive. It's a 6 mile gravel road that winds up into the hills above the main road. I spent many hours there. While making my way down, at the east end, I stopped among an area of trees that had burned sometime in the past. I don't know if it was from the fires of '88. This is one of the key images of Yellowstone that I came away with after 10 days in one of the jewels of the National Park system.
