Yellowstone National Park

Our second park was Yellowstone. A much different park that the Tetons. Sarah and I were both very much impressed with the Tetons grandeur. Yellowstone is equally as impressive, but in different ways. It is full of strange phenomenons like Old Faithful and bubbling sulfur pots. Randomly steam will come out of holes in the ground or mud will be boiling. We even saw a lake of acid, worse than any battery acid we could come in contact with. UGH. Plus Yellowstone is full of wildlife. Which we were lucky enough to see a lot of.

FIRST STOP: OLD FAITHFUL, BLOWS EVERY 93 MINUTES OR SO, GIVE OR TAKE SOME. 

I THINK SARAH AND I WERE BOTH AMAZED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WATCHING THIS EVENT. EASILY 500 PEOPLE SITTING ON THE "SIDELINES" WATCHING OLD FAITHFUL BLOW!

THE GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING, A VERY DEEP BLUE COLOR WITH BRIGHT ORANGE SURROUNDING IT. 

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS

YELLOWSTONE CANYON. BEAUTIFUL COLORS!

SARAH THOUGHT ABOUT DIVING OVER, BUT I HELD HER BACK.

WALKING DOWN UNCLE TOM'S TRAIL TO GET A VIEW OF THE LOWER FALLS. THIS TRAIL IS ABOUT 340 STEPS DOWN, QUITE A CLIMB BACK UP. 

SARAH AND I REALLY ENJOYED SEEING THE WILDLIFE. WE ESPECIALLY GOT EXCITED WITH THE GRIZZLIES. HERE IS ONE IN A FIELD OF FLOWERS. 

PRONGHORN DEER

BLACK BEAR VERY CLOSE TO OUR CAR!

AND ONE OF THE COOLEST WAS ONE OF TWO WOLVES WE SAW. IT WAS GETTING PRETTY DARK AND HE WAS QUITE FAR AWAY, SO PICTURES ARE LIMITED. 

The funny thing with Yellowstone is you know there is an animal ahead if there are cars lining the roads or even stopped on the road with people jumping out with their cameras. I think both Sarah and I felt a little touristy and silly as we did the same things, but oh well, might as well join the crowd in this situation right? We had fun and saw some amazing wildlife that we don't see on a regular basis.
