Day Forty-Four - Year Two

We spent our first full day in Yellowstone Park, and decided to go for the most popular attraction here – Old Faithful.  We actually spent most of the day driving and stopping along the way all along the geyser basin.  There are lots of geysers and thermal pools, and they are so beautiful!  It was extremely windy today – 40-50 mph – so the warmth from the geysers actually felt pretty good!  J
Once we reached Old Faithful, we ate lunch at the lodge, and then went outside to view the geyser erupt.  It was pretty cool!  Sam was ecstatic!





The colors were absolutely beautiful, and the pics don't do them justice!

On the drive back to the campground, we stopped to view and take pics of a herd of elk that had settled in for the evening on a small island in the river.
