Rising from the Water

Rising out of the glacial cool waters of Yellowstone Lake is the inactive geyser, the Fishing Cone.  Found at the West Thumb Geyser Basin, the Fishing Cone used erupt as high as 40 feet but is now inactive and has been reclassified as a hot spring.  Legend has it that early settlers would catch a fish and the dunk it in the cone to cook the fish.  September 2009.

Blue Skies and Clear Waters

Not much can beat the beautiful blue skies and clear cool water of the Virgin River in Zion National Park.  The Virgin River is not always this clear, many times of the year it is completely brown or orange from rain and runoff.  June 2010.
