Old Faithful Inn Yellowstone National Park

Der heutige Tag hielt überraschende Highlights bereit und entschädigte uns für die letzten, nicht ganz so erfolgreichen Tage.

Zwischenziel war das National Monument "Craters of the Moon", von dem wir uns nicht allzuviel versprachen, da der Reiseführer gerade mal eine …

Today we continued our tour of Old Faithful by starting with breakfast at the Old Faithful Inn. The historic hotel is famous for its location next to the geyser and for its architecture. After breakfast, we started our hike to the top of the observation point, which provided an excellent perspective of the geyser eruption.

We woke up early Wednesday and went to Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful. The sky was overcast so …

I had watched numerous documentaries on the park over the years and had read tons of magazine …
