Brilliant - keep them coming.
You continue to make us jealous of your flying trips.

Thanks Chris, a great trip report that I only just got round to reading . Some really stunning landscapes from the air, so different from the UK.

I read your great story concerning the trip to West Yellowstone Airport. The photos look like they were shot on a large format camera, the clarity and resolution was stunning.

I traveled to and stayed in the same campground and what a wonderful experience that was. I had earlier in the day left Nampa, Idaho (on a Saturday and the place was a ZOO...) I was very happy to have flight-following getting out of there on route to Blackfoot, Idaho then on to West Yellowstone... Here is my story on my Flickr account

The shower was a hoot. Odd looking contraption, but a welcome fixture out there in the forest.

Yellowstone has now been added to my destination list for my flying holiday around the NW this September. Thanks for the report!

I camped at the Pilot's Campground in August 2010 and had a lightweight sleeping bag and nearly froze. The temps got down to 30... Bring a heavier bag if you make the trip in September and camp there...

I didn't have the luxury to loiter in the area due to small tanks in a Cessna 150/150 having a larger engine, but the views on my way from West Yellowstone to Cody, Wyoming were incredible... Good luck on your September trip.
I don't have files loaded on my computer to attach here, but the geysers are a "must see" from an airplane.

Now planning for this trip; we are thinking of acquiring sleeping bags rated to -15F. That should do the trick, I hope!
