Yellowstone- Part 2

 Yellowstone Lake:



Geyser Basin (West Thumb)






Old Faithful:

I think because we were there later at night, it was less crowded which was nice! The geyser behind it was actually more active and old faithful was a little underwhelming.

Yellowstone- Part 1

 We were so excited to go to Yellowstone! The last time we went through was 16 years ago and we don't remember much from that.  We had a map and picked out all the amazing natural wonders we wanted to see! BUT we were stuck in the car for 2 hours because of traffic.  Good thing we were excited and happy!

We had planned to do the lower loop, but everyone was turning that way so we did the loop the opposite way. It ended up being a 14 hour day from the time we left the cabin to the time we got back but wow! What a day!

Gibbon Falls:



Artists Paintpots: So cool! (and hot!)




 
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone:Such stunning views!













Mud Volcano: So awesomely cool, but the smell...












Idaho-Yellowstone Day 6

 Day 6 was a big day full of very fun adventures around Idaho Falls/Rexburg!  

1st we drove up to Rexburg and ate a Righteous slice (Alayna your roommate still works there and said to tell you hi!)  Then we hit a frozen yogurt place which was super yummy!



Then we drove up to the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.  It was so interesting!  Brandon was pretty brave and jumped off of them!  College students come up to have bonfires.






Then we switched gears from the heat and went to the ice caves (civil dense nuclear fall out shelters). We took glow sticks and Brandon and Kayla showed us how they broke them and spray them and then the cave glows. Such a neat idea!







Our last stop of the day was at the gorgeous Mesa Falls!








Then we arrived at our really awesome airB&B! It was exhausting but such a great day!!!
