Yellowstone Day 5

Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone were breathtaking with the green water flowing to the falls. This was the appetizer to the view of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.     There was seating here so you could sit back and relax and take it in.  

Whoa! the view from the overlook at Inspiration Point was Whoa!    See the reds and yellows in the canyons walls and see the falls in the distance jut to the left of center in the above picture. I never tire of seeing waterfalls and those upper falls were lovely.

Mule Deer, still with velvet on their antlers, are trying to fatten up for the winter.       A different view of the falls from Artist Point.               

In Hayden Valley the soil permits little tree growth but  abundant grass and shrub growth is used by the animals for grazing.

Sulfur Caldron looked like a vat of witches brew. 

Dragons Mouth Spring – the name is perfect for this feature. It growled, hissed, puffed smoke, and spewed water out of it’s mouth causing waves of caustic water to roll over rock.

West Thumb Geyser basin – Yup you guessed it, it has more hot springs and geysers. The Abyss  and Black Pool hot springs were phenomenal.                 

We may have to leave Yellowstone a day or two earlier than expected. We found a fuel leak in the generator and need to get that fixed.  After that it’s on to Grand Teton National Park.
