Yellowstone Day 1






Today we spent the whole day at Yellowstone National Park. It was really adventuresome. We saw lots of geysers, lakes, rivers and wild animals. We also saw the fire damage that devastated the park in 1988. A lot of the greenery is coming back but we saw many dead trees sticking up out of the forest. We saw "Old Faithful" shoot up. We and many people waited 20 minutes for the show.
The amazing thing is there are geysers at a lot of different areas of the park. So you drive around to them to view the geysers. There are different colors everywhere with boiling, bubbling steam. Very few actually shoot up like "Old Faithful" but boil and bubble up showing their colors. Some you can see that drain into the lakes and rivers. Here are a few pictures, we will have more tomorrow.
