Snake River at Yellowstone's South EntranceSnake River as it passes by the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park
We stopped at the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park to take some pictures. In this picture the Snake River is flowing south out of Yellowstone National Park. We are about 5-miles north of Flag Ranch in John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway.
Snake River as it flows out of Yellowstone National Park
This picture is looking north into Yellowstone National Park. At this moment the Snake River is leaving Yellowstone National Park and entering John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway the land between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. Log jam along the Snake River near the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park
Not far south of the entrance to Yellowstone National Park the Snake River splits forming an island in the river. That log jam you see is where the Snake River splits forming the island. The Snake River in Yellowstone National Park
There is a beautiful meadow on the east side of the Snake River as it flows past the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Several of us watched a pair of sand hill cranes feeding in that lush meadow.
Snake River and meadow in Yellowstone National Park
This is the meadow those sand hill cranes were feeding in. I suspect they were raising their young in that meadow but we could not see them in the deep grass.
At this point the Snake River is flowing south into John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway and Flag Ranch where the Snake will flow under the highway and along Grassy Lake Road as it makes its way into the northern end of Grand Teton National Park.
Log jam in the Snake River as the River splits to form an island
Actually this is the beginning of a log jam since the logs have not jammed anything at this point. But there is certainly an accumulation of old timber on that point. I stopped here because I though it might be the work of beavers. Once hiking to the jam I could see that it was just an extremely shallow point where the Snake River splits to form an island.
