You cannot come to Yellowstone and
not see the hand of God.
Every turn hides a mountain, a waterfall, a geyser, a sight better and more amazing than the last one. "Old Faithful" has pretty much been and always will be the last word in punctual entertainment.
It's a 14 mile drive from the west entrance to the "Grand Loop" and nearly a hundred miles around that. We didn't stand a prayer of seeing even a fraction of the Park. And in this regard, I admit defeat. I'm forced to consider this short expedition, "recon" for our next western adventure.
Every stop seems to offer one more wonder, one after another, all the way from Madison Junction to West thumb and back around to Mammoth Hot Springs. The variety and colors of the hundreds of hot pools and mud pots is way beyond your imagination.
And by the way, for those of you who were
wondering if we saw any wildlife,
take this...
Yes, I want to go back a well and spend a week in Yellowstone and a week in the Tetons....... oh empty nest here we come!!!
