Yellowstone National Park - Geyser Basins

Today we traveled north into Yellowstone to visit the geyser basins on the southwest side of the park. We started at the north end by driving along the one-way Firehole Lake Drive in the Lower Geyser Basin. 

We stopped for a picnic lunch at the Firehole picnic area before heading to the Midway Geyser Basin to see the Silex Spring and the Grand Prismatic Spring. 

We also stopped at Biscuit Basin before ending up at the Upper Geyser Basin and Old Faithful. 

We walked around the boardwalks to view the other geysers in the area. Castle Geyser went off as Amanda and Vince were passing by.

We ended our evening with one last eruption at Old Faithful with front-row, upwind seats that Vince and Amanda secured for us.

While the sights we saw today were amazing and beautiful, we will be happy to leave the crowds behind tomorrow and hit the hiking trails again.
