Drove north to Yellowstone. Stayed at the Grant Village.
Took in Old Faithful and the other thermal features in the area. |
|
|
Boiling water and steam |
|
|
|
The prismatic hot springs were strangely beautiful and eerie. |

The next day we drove around Yellowstone Lake, then along the Grand Canyon
of the Yellowstone.
|
|
|
|
We stopped for numerous views of the Upper and Lower Falls | |
|
North of Canyon Village is beautiful rolling countryside filled with
animals. We saw a golden colored wolf but he was to far away for a good
picture.
Here a herd of buffalo graze in the distance. |
|
|
|
Up close and personal with a buffalo. | |
| Ended the day at the Mammoth Hot Springs Village. |
|
|
|
Had a modest little cabin. The car drew a bit of attention. | |
|
Took a driving tour of the hot springs formations.
The hot springs were not very interesting. If you are exiting the park by the north entrance they are worth a stop but they are definitely not worth the drive up from the southern part of the park. |
