Yellowstone National Park: Day Two

It was another awesome day at the park on Saturday. I explored the lower loop this time starting at Old Faithful! It was so impressive, I had to take a video ;)

It’s like a big upside down waterfall!



Speaking of waterfalls…this one is called Kepler Casades



At the southern part of the loop is the West Thumb Basin, which has multiple pools, geysers and hot springs. There were several elk there that appear to be accustomed to people being around. We didn’t bother them a bit! This doe was right in the middle of everything, just grazing away. Lake Yellowstone is in the background.





Here’s an interesting hot spring aptly called a “mud pot”



Then this guy was grazing near the exit road when I left. This was the first set of antlers I saw. And they were impressive! Too bad that tree was in the way.



Along the way to the next stop at the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, I encountered two more “bison blocks”. Lol This little guy was shooed out of the road by a park ranger.



And he was not happy about it at all. Look at those ears back ;)



Then again to the entrance of the canyon viewing area.



Finally, I arrived at my destination. Here is a photo of the upper falls of the Yellowstone Grand canyon.



And the canyon itself. This park is amazing. It has a little bit of everything!



Sunday, it’s off to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center to see some more wildlife and a visit with some friends :)
