Upper Loop #4: Norris Geyser Basin

Over halfway in our drive of the Upper Loop. Last stop of the day was the Norris Geyser basin.

We have been so blessed with great weather for this visit, we can almost wear short sleeves, except for this really nice breeze.

End of day, Tom did the short loop while I did the longer. You know I just love these areas, so weird seeing steam roil out of the earth, and all the odd smells and sounds, the dead trees against a beautiful backdrop of green pines. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and headed back to camp. (Poor Charlie ends up in the RV all day)

Back through Hayden Valley (Yellowstone River) which always had some wildlife to spot. Really mostly bison. Saw a lone wolf in the distance.En savoir plus
