Bugles and Trumpets!

Reflections of early morning sunlight suggest a new dawning for Yellowstone Park. The elk and trumpeter swan are strong symbols of the endurance of Yellowstone. Both animals have found a safe, generous haven in the park's new-grown meadows.

The great Yellowstone fire left a deep impact on all forms of life there. Many animals lost their lives and huge trees and hillsides were torched. In September a gift of snow drifted from the skies and the smoke cleared and the renewal began. "Bugles and Trumpets!" signals the promised return of life.
