No sooner had we entered the park and gone less than two miles when we came on this guy. A good sign don't you think?
We only had a couple of days, so we really concentrated on the things that were easily accessible. Thankfully Yellowstone has a wealth of these places. (image below: Firehole falls.)
Here is the type of thing that just springs up at you as you round a corner in Yellowstone.(image below: Lower Geyser Basin)
Doesn't this look like lava? It's actually what's called a bacteria film. Yuck! 
The image above and the one below are the same pool. It's kind of a teaser because the water is sooooo clear and warm. Made me just want to take a swim. Fear of a little sulphuric acid burn deterred me ;-)
Yellowstone was an absolutely beautiful and remarkable place... I'll have to spread the pics out over a little time. Enjoy.

It looks like you had a lovely time with your family!!! Time is the most precious gift we can give each other. tp
ReplyDeleteJust curious how much you got to see/where you stayed. I've wanted to head up there for a weekend but didn't think it would be enough time. How long a drive is it from the Wasatch Front? Well, enough questions, looks like a fun time.
ReplyDeleteI loved Yellowstone. Haven't been back for years and years and am afraid the crowds would bum me out these days.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun!
And ps... just how "NEAR" are you to your beautiful place? 'Cause mine is like a hop, skip, and a jump. PLUS, I live in the #1 overvalued market, oh wait, I mean we have over 340 days of sunshine where I live! DOUBLE NEENER
