The season has just changed too fall, and the leaves are starting to turn colors. The weather has turned windier, and the cooler temperatures are a relief from the heat. The sunny days are slipping to cloudy overcast, and sometimes even a light drizzle. Prey is growing a tad more scarce, but the bigger animals are still hanging around in abundance. The temperature goes up and down with the transition from summer to fall.

All females have currently gone into the first round of their heat! Some are shifting into the second stage, however, which means that breeding may be happening now. It's a good idea to wait a bit longer, though, to ensure pregnancy.

Lamar Valley is a wide stretch of short, coarse grass, surrounded by rising peaks on every side. The mountains circling the valley are overgrown with trees, many of them pines and firs. The thick forests then suddenly break apart, shifting into open, patchy grass that gives Lamar Valley its charm. The valley is accented by slopes and dips, but no signifigant landmarks. Several creeks run through the grassy expanse, however, wide but often shallow. Several clusters of trees mark the open landscape; willows, aspens, oaks and poplars are just a few.

Tower Falls Tower Falls starts with the river; it's a fast-flowing, deep river, and is very cold. Now when you see the river turn a corner around the ragged, clay peaks, you know you're close to the falls. The river quickly cascades down a steep drop, stretching on and on until it disapears behind a wall of pines. No matter; you will surely hear it hit the bottom.
Yellowstone Canyon This canyon likely isn't the steep drop that you're used to. Instead, the canyon recedes slowly to the bottom, where a gushing river lies. The trip down will still be dangerously steep though, particularly as the sides of the canyon are often overlayed with ragged rock. But soft, almost sandy soil supports some of the canyon. Now surprisingly, quite a few trees have found root among the rocks, most of them being scraggly evergreens. It's funny that they can survive here, even when the gravely, loose soil frequently gives way.

Slough Creek Slough Creek is about 25 miles of lazy stream-water. This creek is a big hit with the wolves, and it should be. The water is calm, the only ripples made by the wind. The bank rarely gets muddy, because it is inhabited by various grasses and the roots of trees. Some fallen logs are nestled against the creekside, but for the mostpart the water is clear. Temperatures in the water grow warmer than usual, as the water is spread out, slow, and revealed to the sun.
Pebble Creek Warning: that has been named literally! Yep, this is Pebble Creek. The bottom is pebbles, the bank is pebbles, everything! Only, these "pebbles" rang greatly in size. There are ones the size of a frog, ones the size of a turtle, all the way up to a few enormous boulders. Now the water itself is also varied, with some parts flowing into fast rapids and others slowing into calm waters. Just be aware that the rocks on the bottom are perfectly smooth, thus also slippery. Get to deep, or in the wrong place, and this creek is capable of causing injury and death.

Old Threads This is where all the old threads from this pack go.
Hayden Valley is dominated widely by buffalo, along with other deer such as white-tails and elk. But it's the buffalo make their mark on this grassy valley; very grassy. It's a great expanse of even, green-studded plains with the occasional drop or rise. Most of the area is so thick with the grass that you can't see the dirty soil underneath. And sometimes you can see a few collections of wildflowers also, though most simple whites and yellows. Surrounding the Hayden Valley are even, forested hills, that add to the "low and green" feel. A single river, sometimes inhabited by fish, twists through the grass.

Lewis Lake This is a good-sized lake, and deep also. On one side the water is bordered by rocky peaks, which are often layered in chilly snow. To the left of that is a sloping, rocky hill, inhabited by thick evergreens. The surrounding area varies, but is characterized mostly by rocks and forest. The lake itself is often rippled by a soft, yet often cold wind. Several large rocks peek out from the surface around the edge, making a good place for an animal to rest. A few tufts of long grass show around the bank.

West Thumb West Thumb = geothermal paradise. There are more geysers in Yellowstone than any other national park, and the West Thumb supports a large quantity! The general landscape is varied; in the areas uninhabited by the hot springs, the land is often characterized by grass, dirt, and trees. But where the many pools and geysers remain, the terra turns peaty and sparse. Some coarse grass often roots itself near, but the banks themselves often hold only small rocks. Fog rises steadily from the hot springs, which often bubble as freshly warmed water arises. The geysers set off every so often, and are a wonderful sight to behold.

Yellowstone Lake Yellowstone Lake is probably one of the warmer lakes, though it is still very cold. The most signifigant part of this lake is the banks, which are made of pure grass. The grass stretches up from the depths of the waters, and travels steadily forward a good couple yards before forest takes over. When the lake grows, it takes over the grass, creating a soft floor. The lake is somewhat shallow, for a lake anyway. The edges slope steadily downward to the deeper water, and there are only a few signifigant drops that could take you by surprise here.
Teton Forest Teton Forest is, obviously, a forest, but it isn't nearly as thick as others. The tall trees, mostly conifers, often break up to reveal a good-sized meadow. Now the landscape is also unique; the land is broken up into various hills, dips, and rises. The terra never stays level for long, and you'll quickly run into a steeply rising hill or ravine. Now, there isn't much for smaller plants or bushes on this turf. Only various grasses and weeds, sometimes sprinkled with a few dandelions.
Mount Sheridan Mount Sheridan towers over the surrounding forest, rising in at a steady pace all the way to the peak. Snow padds most of the mountain, and the area that is bare is mere rock and soil. Every summer the snow melts away, however, revealing some sparse patches of grass. Sheridan is a frightfully cold place during the cooler seasons, with the wind being sharp and bitter. Things get better as summer draws near, but it still remains cool; only the sun gives warmth. When it rains the soil gets very wet and muddy, making it loose and sticky.

Old Threads This is where all the old threads in this pack go.
At first all you see are evergreen trees, lining the area like numerous weeds. But if you pad right between them, you'll quickly find that the terrain changed. The trees stop abruptly, being replaced by a wide expanse of open plains and sandy soil. In the middle is a formation of seemingly harmless rock, but you'll soon find out that it isn't ordinary. Within seconds thousands of gallons of water is thrown skyward, as the huge geyser erupts with full steam.

Gibbon Falls Gibbon Falls is enormous, to say the least. The water doesn't fall down a straight edge, but instead it tumbles doesn a lengthening formation of rock. This falls is beautiful and magestic, streaming down the varied rock face in rapid, ivory bands. The waterfall itself is very large, as mentioned before. It is about 12 wolf-lengths across, and 10 in height. Perhaps it isn't the longest drop, but it clearly has the widest base. The area surrounding Gibbon Falls is mainly crinkled rock face, scattered a few embedded trees and shrubs.

Mud Volcano The name says it all. The Mud Volcano is a deep, tarry pit of mud. Hot, steaming, murky mud, all of it a strange dull grey. This is called a "volcano" mainly because the mud seems to bubble up like a volcano, and it really does. The sticky mixture is certainly not something you want to run in with, and the dangerous part is that it is placed just below the steep drop of a hill. It's all too easy to take a dip into this thick, steamy wad of mud, and it's bound to happen someday. Hey, at least it is warm!

Biscuit Basin Biscuit Basin is of a varied landscape, the ground characterized by sudden dips and rises, along with some browning vegetation. The usual selection of trees dot the landscape, only in smaller quaintities. The main feature of the basin is probably the water freatures, which are small ponds that sit within a swamp-like land. The ground is solid, yes, but the difference in the soil and land is obvious. There's even stream, which rises steady in warm vapors from in between the pools.

Targhee Forest Targee Forest is absolutely beautiful! The forest is littered with all kinds of trees, all different sizes, colors, and shapes. There are aspens, willows, conifers, oaks, maples, pines... Obviously, a lot of variety. In fact, even the small ground plants are mixed and matched. Instead of the usual slection of grass and weeds, the many different plant, shrub, and bush types can be found. Though it's difficult to list them all, I can say that the scrubby vegetation often come up to your chest. Because of this, many wolf trails run through the forest to aid in quick transportation. In the background of this beautiful forest you can see two mountains, which stand serenely from afar.
