In the summer of 2004, fire swept through the lodgepole pine forests east and north of
Yellowstone lake. Within weeks after the fires burned out, a
profusion of wildflowers burst through the sooty soil. This
photo was taken atop Lake Butte. The far northern reaches of
Yellowstone Lake protrude in the background.
Yellowstone Net is the source for information and
lodging reservations for Yellowstone National Park.
