Congratulations Photo Contest Winners!

Nearly four hundred photographs were entered in this summer's contest, and we were awestruck by the beautiful imagery. It's fair to say that Yellowstone's employees know how to get out there and capture the unique beauty of the park. Sometimes it's hard to believe this is amateur photography!

After hundreds turned out to judge the finalists, the people have chosen the winners. Go to the Summer 2011 Photo Contest Gallery to look at the winners. All who won this year's contest should feel quite proud as the competition was fierce!

The staff at the YCERP would like to thank all who entered and voted in this summer's photo contest. If you entered this summer and did not win - keep getting out there and taking photos - you never know what you'll find around the next bend in the trail!

The 2011 Summer Season has come to a close. Currently our Recreation Hall at Mammoth Hot Springs is the only facility open for employee use. Activities for the 2011 - 2012 winter season begin in mid - December. See you all then!
