Grand Tetons and Yellowstone |
|
|
|
After spending three nights at Grand Tetons National Park, we headed into Yellowstone for three nights at three different campgrounds. We drove all over the park and hiked many of the trails to see the thermal features. The weather turned cold in Yellowstone, but we put on more layers and had fun seeing all the weird thermal features. |

Our campsite at Coulter Bay, Grand Tetons. |

It began raining the second day there, but the Tetons looked really neat in the lighting when the rain would stop for awhile. |

Fire and Water! We moved to Yellowstone and then walked all around the Old Faithful basin. There are so many interesting things you could take hundreds of photos. |

The bacteria which thrive in the scalding, caustic waters create strange patches of colors in the outflows of the many geysers and pools. |

Because Yellowstone is at high altitude, it was cold in September. We had to get out more layers to keep warm. |

This is Castle Geyser, which is in the same basin as Old Faithful. It was going off almost continuously while we were there. |
