Mountain stream fresh from a snowpack. It was plain tasting and nice and cool. My legs were about done by now.

A good number of people do the hike to Solitude. (Many passed me, me, many followed.) I stayed at the second pic for a while.

The way back was a whole new amazing since you were facing the other way and the light was opposite. However by like 15 miles i was done and wasn't looking any more.

So named for all the colors - not just the pools, but the pools, their runoff, minerals, the algae, the lichens, everything. This pool had a great blue.

Every little spot in Yellowstone should be given attention. Does the bell sound come through on the video? It sounds like water dripping on a tin pot.

Can you see the coyote in the grass? No? Must be no accident his coat is the same color.
West Yellowstone

The town is highly developed for tourism, seemingly exclusively. The two main roads are all Old Westy-like. Everything is immaculate. I drove through a subdivision and all the houses looked brand new.Les mer

Weather this morning was different, 45 at dawn and frigidly clammy. This is what Grand Prismatic Spring looked like. I went back to the car and ate brunch. Then shampooed my seats.

After the sun burned off the fog you could see what was coming from the water.

Fairy Falls hike

After that i went on a hike that takes you above Grand Prismatic to a falls and a geyser.
In other pictures you can see what a forest looks like after a recent fire, 5 years after a fire, etc. ThisLes mer

The falls were very pretty. Watch out for the 5 pound extremely aggressive chipmunks! In the last pic can you see him laying in wait to see if the prey will come to him?
