We really enjoyed our trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer. If you have never been there - I highly recommend it! It's such a huge park and a unique place. And the colors you will see are amazing - God's beautiful creations all around.
I have already told you about our car troubles, but we saw the park anyway in a rental car! And I showed you a view of a waterfall, pictures of wildlife, and a bit about the place we stayed while visiting the park. Now I have a few more pictures to show you.
This is a small geyser in the Fountain Paint Pots area. The geyser is fascinating, but it's also wonderful to see the surrounding scenery and the big blue sky!
This area was the most colorful - a sight not to be missed. It's the Grand Prismatic Spring. Here's where we head across the river to go see it. See all the steam?
And here's what we came for - the pictures just do not do the colors justice. God created the most beautiful colors!
Here is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone Park. Amazing!
This is in the Norris Geyser Basin - another great area to explore. Just wanted to show a couple of pics from there right now. This is the Opal Pool.
That's it for today. Hope you enjoyed the colors! I do have a few more pictures to post in the future, along with some videos if I can figure out how to post them.

ReplyDeleteWe were in Yellowstone two summers ago and loved it (although we love the Tetons even more). The paint pots were absolutely amazing, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone--wow! Glad you had a good trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! Looks like a really neat place to vacation! :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing trip. We went to the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago and the got us to wanting to see more of, well, more! We are seriously toying with Yellowstone for next year and the guys want to camp. With a (then) 2.5 year old. I was really thrilled to see you stayed at a KOA and really liked it. Thanks for the hint, I will share it with my guys and see if they will agree to leaving the tents at home!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Kiy
