We started the day with a gorgeous sunrise. We were actually on the west side and the sun
shining on the mountains and clouds made for a spectacular view.
We had spent the night in Gardiner, Montana and we headed
back into Yellowstone. The road we had hoped to travel on yesterday was now
open and we were headed down to see what sights we could see.
We didn't see much wildlife today but we saw some
spectacular sights along the Mammouth to Norris road and on to Old Faithful and
to the Grand Tetons. The day was sunny and bright and we were able to see for
miles.
The geyser fields were very cool. The colors of the
organisms living in them were gorgeous. And walking out over the fields on the
boardwalks was fun.
We made it to Old Faithful within 15 minutes of the spout
going off. Very lucky on that one, it only goes off about every 90 minutes.
The Grand Tetons were like paintings. We couldn't believe
the sights we were seeing. Not sure how anyone can not believe there is a God
after seeing these magnificent mountains!
We only drove about 130 miles and it took us 7 hours. We
stopped a lot along the way.
We ended the day in Jackson, Wyoming on the hill by a ski
resort. Hoping to see a little bit of Jackson before driving on tomorrow.
