Yellowstone August 31 & September 1st..day 1 & 2

The Rocky Mountains with switchbacks were scary..we stopped here and the brakes were smoking. A local man stopped to give advice, he was a mechanic..nice people in Wyoming.


We came in the East entrance to Fishing Bridge Campground, and studied the map of Yellowstone. We drove about 38 miles to see Old Faithful..saw lots of Bison









The famous Old Faithful Inn...we had dinner here the first night










We all were waiting to see her blow, she kept us waiting about 25 minutes past the predicted time























we stopped on the way to Old Faithful to see the Kepler Cascades...there are so many sites to see













Continental Divide goes thru Yellowstone









another geyser




















Elk near the road








I tried to move the picture of the dragon's Mouth Spring and the system deleted it..sorry..












scenery is awesome..Bison grazing
















Mud Volcano











The sulfur smell was overwhelming at this caldron















We went to Tower Fall and hiked to get a good view


































































We then continued on to Roosevelt Lodge and had a drink to relax next to the fireplace..we really liked it here













The Lodge has horse drawn wagons and horse back riding











































Day 3 & 4 is next
