It may be obvious to some, but the Yellowstone River got its name from the yellow color of the sandstone and rock in the area. I falsely assumed the color was from the abundance of sulfur but have come to learn that it's actually due to the high iron content. It's rust.
Loved that I caught these two shoulders. It's one of my favorite shots from Yellowstone.
The dark orange color just above the water line is amazing.
