The plan for today was to visit the northeast portion of Yellowstone. Emma and I made it through the construction between Madison and Norris, and headed for Canyon Village.
That’s where we were to take a left turn and head north toward Tower Fall. We made it to Canyon, but the road to Tower Fall was closed. I don’t know why, maybe because of the snow we had yesterday. So that put a crimp in my plans. I decided to head south towards Fishing Bridge. That was another section of the park that I hadn’t driven yet.
The first stop was Sulphur Caldron. It is aptly named…smells just like rotten eggs! :( I couldn’t stop at Mud Volcano since I had Emma with me. I took a right at Fishing Bridge…
I finally encountered a male elk, until a huge motorhome almost ran into him and he fled. That guy ruined everyone’s view. :(
Because of all the rain lately, and the snow run off, all the rivers and falls are full to capacity and stunning.
You can’t spend a day in Yellowstone without getting some Bison shots. :)
As I headed for the west entrance, I decided to turn down Firehole Lake Drive again.
This time, two of the geysers were erupting as I traveled by. You know, they’re almost as spectacular as Old Faithful.
With the weekend upon us, the RV park has filled almost to capacity. I think I’ll leave Yellowstone to the weekend warriors for a few days. I really must clean house and do some laundry. :( I think I’ll try to figure out how to use my onboard washer/dryer tomorrow, but if the weather’s as good as today…who knows!
Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later, Judy
