We spent the first day around the Old Faithful basin, then went north to the Mammoth campground, crossing the Continental divid several times on the way. |

Old Faithful went off while we were there, but the wind was blowing fairly strong and it did not get as high as it could have. |

Interesting textures and colors created by the bacterial growth in the outflow from the geysers and pools. |

Small geysers were boling, spouting and gurgling where ever you go. |

Depending on the water content in the soils, the mud pots can be very active like this. Other times they just plop or gurgle and make strang sounds. |

We crossed the Continental Divide several times when driving from the south end of the park north to the Mammoth area. |
