We headed back to Yellowstone today,
to the northern "Upper Loop" of the park.
There were some amazing sites!
Check this out!
A bubbling mud volcano!
Beck was in awe
This was so cool too:
It really looked and sounded like there was
a dragon in there!
All these cool
smoking, bubbling mud pots
The Lower Falls
So loud!
So beautiful!
This calls for a picture
We checked out the Upper Falls too
That's a lot of fast moving water!
Grandpa and I were impressed
This calls for another picture
The Tower Falls
Beckett was thrilled to be a part of the action.
Way happier in the backpack than in his carseat!
We took a hike down to the river bank
Lots of beauty
Lots of fun
There was a lot of wildlife on this section too!
I know you can't see it,
but trust me,
there is a black bear mama and 2 cubs in this picture right in the middle
mamma bear is half behind a tree
Elk
Coyote
And of course, bison
(these are my favorite)
They call this the Liberty Cap.
We all thought it looked like something else...
This is Mammoth Springs.
It looked more like some alien planet
Weird, huh?
Beautiful plateaus and "water" falls
More bubbling stink pots
Cleopatra's terrace
Jack was impressed
So was I
The colors were so vivid!
It started to rain and we forgot Beckett's rain cover,
so he gained an entourage and a hat
Remember that beaming face when I was on the horse?
It's back.
We had to do some pages in a workbook,
hike a trail,
and hear a talk from a Ranger
and then...
We became Junior Yellowstone Rangers today!
Yellowstone ROCKS!
