2006-09-04 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 004

We entered Yellowstone National Park and still drove quite a bit before seeing the entrance station. We stopped and photographed bison and elk along the drive in. We found the area of paint pots and geysers and stopped to take a short walk. The thermal areas are fragile and dangerous, so we have a boardwalk for our hike. We continued down to see Old Faithful. We got there just in time to see it erupt. We took a walk around the area full of geysers and other boiling puddles. Some of them had beautiful colors form the rock and mineral deposits. We also saw a few bison mamas with babies strolling around the geysers. We stayed on the boardwalk, they stayed off. We stayed around long enough to see Old Faithful erupt again, it's current interval was 1 hour and 20 minutes, plus-minus.
