Yellowstone Lake and sailing on the lake. You can easily shoot all kinds of

colorful appearance. Watch the canyons surrounded by clouds and mist, the
waterfalls of thousands of horses galloping, the colorful hot springs, the American
buffalo and wild deer strolling leisurely on the grassland, and the water birds living
by the water. Yellowstone is the home of wild animals, the famous paintings of
painters, the beautiful sentences of poets, the eyes of lovers, and the heart of
nature. There are always no words to describe the beauty of Yellowstone. We can
only rely on our eyes and cameras to measure and remember the intoxicating
beauty. Stay in a wooden house in the Yellowstone scenic area at night.
