Yellowstone is one of my favorite places to visit. I love the wild life, the beauty and I think the geological features are fascinating. I am amazed at the power of this earth.
We started on the lower loop, it has most of the geological features (hot pot, mud pot, geysers, steam vents…etc).
The beauty and power of it all is stunning
This is “Old Faithful” the most well known geyser in the world.
They call this feature “Dragons Cave” You can hear the water slapping agents the sides of the cave deep down in the earth, there is also a low hissing sound as the steam comes out. It seriously sounds and looks like there is a Dragon inside.
The highlight of the day (besides Old Faithful) was this little beauty we found on a little side road.
He was back in the trees so we stopped for a little bit to watch him. I was amazed how quickly the park rangers got there. They needed to watch to make sure the people weren’t doing anything stupid (like walking towards the bear…which they were!). The bear turned and started coming towards the road and the rangers made us all get in our cars and move along. It was really neat to see and the kids loved it.
We stopped in West Yellowstone on our way back to the cabin for dinner and got home at about 11:00. Completely exhausted!
I love the pics of Yellowstone, since I’ve never had the opportunity to go there. But the best pic of all is of the little cutie sleeping
I’ve only been there once when I was too little to remember anything! I can’t wait to take the kids, they’d love it! Gorgeous pics!
Yellowstone is COOL! And I loved seeing Old Faithful! Really amazing how high that thing sprays water. The springs all over the park are so pretty with all the blues and greens.
