For Easter, I went to Yellowstone National Park. My favorite part of the trip was when we stopped at the Gardiner River on the 45th parallel.
 |
| We hiked for about 20 minutes off the road in our jackets and boots. Then, in the distance, I saw steam along the river. The Boiling Spring spills into the Gardiner right here and looks like what Watiki is trying to emulate. We tossed our jackets, scarves and other winter gear on the railing and slipped over slick rocks while cold water splashed across my toes until I joined the Boiling River's entrance to the Gardiner. Warmth up to my ankles, knees, submerge and sigh. COLD! currant surrounds me briefly and then it's warm again. Soaking in the spring water was by far my favorite experience. |

| I went to Yellowstone particularly to see Old Faithful. I didn't know it would smell like that. We watched a movie about geysers while we waited for her to blow. The geyser was going off when we arrived so it was a 93 minute (+,- 10) wait and I got to explore the area around the visitor's center. There were several blue pools and bubbly, simmering holes of water. When people began to join me on the boardwalk, we headed back to the best view of Old Faithful. |

| Well, it was right on time, but I thought it would be larger, taller, somehow. |
Looks like you had a great time! Isn't Yellowstone wondeful???? It is my favorite Natl. Park! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was very wonderful, thanks! I only saw a fraction of the park but I saw enough to start planning my next visit!
ReplyDeleteWell, after the video we watched on 5-4 about creativity in daily living, I feel like I was at Old Faithful in the wrong spot. I was there at sunset and tried in desperation to get the right angle, the right perspective, and had all of three minutes to line myself up when it finally went off. The sunset shot of Old Faithful that flashed across the screen is the one I was trying to get!
