We started out our second day in Yellowstone National Park by exploring some more of the geothermic activity areas.
All of the trees in these areas are slowly dying as a result of the volcanic activity.

The water was so hot here that no bacteria could grow leaving the water completely clear! This pool went down 27 feet!
The geothermic activity zones are only one small part of Yellowstone. We took a gravel road drive through several meadows and hills.
And along the way saw some up-close wildlife!
Yellowstone had a Grand Canyon of their own. Although not quite as Grand as the more famous one found in Arizona, it was very beautiful.
We walked down 400 consecutive steps to reach a landing with a view of this powerful waterfall that carved the canyon.
Yellowstone Lake is where we chose to stop for dinner at one of the several Yellowstone Lodges.
The drive through these unique sections of the park took a complete day, but as we were returning to our hotel we decided to just stop by Old Faithful to see if we could catch an explosion. We did!
