Yellowstone

The first highlight of my trip!! So excited to update, I had a very long post that crashed when I tried to publish it 😡 Tried it again, failed. Starting over!  ugh. I will post one pic at a time. Hope it doesn't send too many update emails 😕 

On way to Lower falls, lots of elk grazing. 

Bubbling springs on way to lower falls, steamy!!!

Upper falls

Finally at lower falls! Breathtaking!!!! It almost looks like a fake background, eh? Soooo amazing! Hard to show the grandeur of this place! Glad the falls were close enough so the darn smoke from the CA, OR, & WA fires didn't mute the beautiful view like it did at the Tetons. 

Sneaking a shot through the woods..

Wow, so gorgeous! Very deep btw

Panoramic view

Closeup. Compare one of the tall evergreen trees to give you a perspective of how large these fall are & how deep the canyon is.

On way to Old Faithful,  wandering river..

Waiting for Old Faithful to blow. Check out this crow flying by!

Finally erupts! Does this look like a steam monster? 😆 

Now on a 3 mile walk amongst more geysers & hot bubbling sprjngs.

Visitors center in backdrop 

Sulphur sludge everywhere.. you could cut a huge stinky fart here & totally get away with it 😆🤭

Entrances into hell? 👿

Very exotic & otherworldly place! A must see. 👍
