Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming – Day 2
Day two in Yellowstone was very interesting. We saw many hot springs and geysers. Some were completely inactive, some made lots of steam, some erupted a little water and one erupted a lot of water (old faithful). We also saw one bubbling mud pit – very cool. We made our way to old faithful, a very popular geyser, as you can see by the gathered crowd. The rangers can predict its eruptions within 20 minutes. We waited a little bit and it did not disappoint. It started slow but then began to spew water like a large fire hydrant 120 feet into the air – a very impressive sight to watch. In the parking lot, we saw cars from every state, even Hawaii, Alaska, and many Canadians. The only state we could not find and have not seen anywhere else is Washington DC. These politicians need to get out more!
Afterwards, we drove to Yellowstone lake, the largest lake above 7000 feet in the US(maybe the world?). It was a truly beautiful lake. As we kept on driving, we eventually left the park and are now on our way to Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore.
