Yellowstone

Next up on our National Park Tour was:

Yellowstone!

There is so much to see and do at Yellowstone.

We checked out:

Old Faithful

(Lucked out on the timing and got there just before the steaming water shot into the sky- awesomely powerful).

Fishing Bridge,

(it was a fairly easy 3 mile round trip hike, peaceful through meadows and forests).

Yellowstone Lake,

(132 sq. miles, the largest high altitude lake at 7,733 ft above sea level, but it does freeze over in the winter).

Midway Gyser Basin, with amazingly colored pools.

Grand Prismatic Spring,

(I love how you can see the colors of the pool in the steam)

(amazing colors made by living microbs, that like the different warm- hot temperatures).

Bubbling pools of sulferic mud (stinkkky).

Mammoth Hot Springs.

Even played baseball at the Continental Divide.

(We played a lot of baseball).

Treking around the park, over so many geological wonders, you feel as the earth below your feet could erupt at any moment, definetly on the edge!
