Yellowstone


The contrasts in the landscape here strange. On one side you could look over a tranquill creek in a green meadow and on the other side would be an alien looking vision of bubbling mud or a geyser blasting boiling water and steam like a pressure cooker waiting to explode. And apparently it is overdue to do just that!






Yellowstone


We are in West Yellowstone for 2 layover days, so today we took a guided tour through the park to some of the famous geysers, vents, mudpots and waterfalls. We got to see a few elk, bison, various volcanic rock and endless lodgepole pines. (Our bus was the new one. The refurbished 1939 one looked really cool)
