Yellowstone National Park, May 8 and 9

Our trip through Yellowstone was incredible. We will post a regular blog about it as soon as we can, but for now, here are some photos of what we saw.


We saw bison everywhere. And even more bison poop even more everywhere! By the way, these animals are HUGE. You read that they're 2000lbs, but it doesn't really sink in until you see one in person.
Yellowstone has the highest concentration of hot springs and geysers in the world. And all that hot water underground makes for some beautiful mineral salts and explosive bubbling.







Just a pretty waterfall.

Morning Glory Hot Spring. Apparently it used to look even cooler than this!


Awesome green "living thermometer". The different minerals make different colors at different temperatures in the water.

This shot came out really well. It doesn't look like it actually exists on this planet.
