1st Day in Yellowstone

Lewis Lake Falls-29ft

Kepler Cascades

Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful.

We thought that the geyser in the background would be between us. There was no way of knowing since the lady taking the picture spoke very little English.

Grotto Geyser-probably the neatest geyser that we saw.

Morning Glory Pool

I think this is the Chromatic Pool.

Old Faithful

The bison in Yellowstone were much more impressive than in Grand Tetons.

This was the fifth day of our trip. We packed up camp and drove to Yellowstone. We drove up to the Old Faithful area. We arrived just as Old Faithful was going off so we barely caught the end of it. We decided to hike the area until the next eruption. We hiked up to Morning Glory Pool and we were the ONLY Americans at the observation point! It felt a little strange. We made it back to Old Faithful in time for the next eruption and we were not disappointed. Carson and Madison entertained the people around us with their antics. Both were in great moods after our ice cream treat. We then went inside the historic Old Faithful Inn. The woodwork on the inside is quite impressive.

We then made our way to Fishing Bridge where we camped. We saw bison along the way and even had to stop to let two of them cross the road. When we arrived at the RV park, the attendant informed us that there was a grizzly who frequented the camp. I think the story was fabricated by the staff just to scare the campers but who knows. With all of our driving around that day, we crossed the continental divide 6 times!

Madison's new word for the day- hike. :)
