Earthquake Lake – a lake formed in 1959 when a 7.5 earthquake struck

Not too far from West Yellowstone is a lake that was formed in 1959 when a 7.5 earthquake caused a massive landslide that blocked a river and killed 28 people who were camping in a campground right in the path of the landslide.

On the way we saw some beautiful scenery, and at a bend in the road where there was a very steep cliff along the road we saw a group of mountain sheep with some babies.  Very cute!

Here are some pictures we took:
