Traveling south on the east side of the lower main loop from the Mud Volcano area of Yellowstone, one follows the Yellowstone River down to its source in Yellowstone Lake and the junction of the loop with the east entrance road. This photo shows the Yellowstone River at Nez Perce Ford with Pelican Cone in the background. The ford is named for the Nez Perce Indians who crossed there under Chief Joseph during the Nez Perce War of 1877. The inset shows Sandhill Cranes photographed in the same area.
