Yellowstone - Last Day


Our last day we went back to the Old Faithful area to see the Grand Geyser! We waited for a couple of hours to see the eruption. We were told it was going to go early but it went on time (they have a 3 hour window of the next predicted eruption for Grand Geyser). It was worth it!


Panoramic of Lake Yellowstone

Dot Island on Lake Yellowstone


Great light to see clarity of the pool (not sure of name on this one)

Crested pool

Grand Geyser pool  before eruption

Beehive Geyser erupted while waiting for Grand Geyser

Grand Geyser Eruption - gives some idea of height based on trees on hill in background



Notice how full the pool/drain area is now compared to pre-eruption picture.  Pool drains under boardwalk towards Firehole River

FIRE on drive home - controlled not wild

Clear skies for a change!

Yellowstone was a great place but I think you have to visit numerous times because it is so large and overwhelming!
