30 or so Bison were milling around the pond at the start of our hike. We had to divert off through the sage brush to safely continue on to lakeside Yellowstone Lake. There are small wildfires on the far side so a haze hangs over it most of the day but it is still a beautiful view. It’s a little cold, low 50s even this time of year, to take a dip in. They claim it as the largest high elevation lake in the world at about 7700 ft above sealevel.
