Yellowstone (for real this time)

After our car sleep, Kelly and I headed back in to Yellowstone. And oh boy did this place steal our hearts:

Just kidding. Remember the beauty of Glacier we'd just seen?

Literal yellow stone lookin' like yellow snow…

Once your hat blew into the hot spring, you were screwed. I only photographed
this one, but Kelly shot at least six others. It became like an "I Spy" game for us.

Ok Yellowstone, you've got a bit of color goin' on…

And some cute wildlife.

We saw a handful of geysers like the one above, but skipped Old Faithful. Yes, I know - the most famous of all! How could we? Well, have you ever seen the parking lot at Disney World? Picture that crowd at a national park - no spaces to be found and dozens of cars circling. Kelly and I figured a geyser is a geyser, this one in particular was not worth the stress of battling tourists, and decided to move on.

  1. Woah!!! That is so excellent!!!
    That is insane that it is that hard to find a parking space to see a geyser!

  2. Yeah I remember Old Faithful being rather crowded. Looks like you saw some lovely sights, though.

    1. Yeah it was pretty nice, but overall one of my least favorite parks.

  3. Kyle and I have always hoped to go spend a week in Yellowstone, and I have no doubt that we could spend the entirety of that week taking in the beauty. Your pictures are only confirming this theory.

    1. More time probably would have made me love it more. We just had a day to hit the highlights. One of Kelly's friends lives there in an RV...I could probably handle that.
