I was lucky enought to get a spot on the Safari Photo excursion. I was the only amateur on the trip. We met at Old Faithful Inn before 5:00 AM and spent a few hours touring through the park looking for interesting sights. I took this in the area of the park that was burned in the Fire of 1988. The summer of 1988 was the driest in the Park's recorded history. More than 793,000 acres (36% of the park) were affected by fire. The 1988 fires created a mosaic of burns, partial burns, and unburned areas that provided new habitats for plants and animals and new realms for research.
