I was busy with school and just realized that although I had uploaded the final set of photos from our trip, I had never captioned and posted them! Here is the final set for your enjoyment.
The entrance to Yellowstone Park
Walking the boardwalk of the sulfur pools
A curious formation caused by the sulfur eating away at the rock
The acidic water left barren landscapes
Did we reach the entrance to hell?
Does anyone want a soak in the hot tub?
The boiling mudpot
It was amazing how much hot water just steamed from the ground all over the place!
One of the ways you know that Old Faithful is about to erupt is that it starts emitting short spurts of water, the other way is that you see hundreds of people lined up watching...
Old Faithful!
I loved the Old Faithful Lodge - it reminded me of Rivendell.
The way they used bent logs was very unique!
Yellowstone Canyon
In front of Yellowstone Falls
We took a day to drive down to Grand Teton National Park!
We hiked 4 1/2 miles out to a lake, and then several people decided they wanted to go swimming and went in jeans and all!
The Corral Drive In serves the best buffalo burgers in Montana. If you ever visit Yellowstone, be sure to stop in!
Here is Mom contemplating buying a truckload of the delicious made in Montana ice cream...
The adorable cabin we stayed in
The cabin was an original settlers cabin from the 1800's that had been fixed up into a guest rental. We enjoyed being in the atmosphere of a real ranch with horses and cattle out the window.
For our last hike in Yellowstone Dad really wanted to hike a peak, so we hiked up to the ranger station at the top of Mt. Washburn.
It was the highest elevation we had ever hiked!
