Elk Lake Resort West Yellowstone

... powerful upper and lower falls, twice the height of Niagara and we also saw our first fumaroles and mud pots, running a gauntlet of mosquitoes to walk the boardwalk to the Artists Paint Pots – red, orange, yellow and green mud and geyser pools.  We also kept up our wildflower spotting.  There are loads in the lower areas but in a week or so's time they’ll be out ...

The menu said BREAKFAST SERVED ALL DAY so we were happy

I had a biscuit and sausage gravy, 1 egg, 2 sausage links and a big class of milk

He had 2 eggs, 4 bacon, biscuit, 2 huge blueberry pancake, and a coffee

We both order an indian fry bread to go. Actually, I ordered one to go, then he saw mine and wanted one too, of course!!!

... for missing out on the other eruption. Shortly after we decide to hang around, everything stops. Great, now we feel tormented by geyers. The colourful hot springs are also worth a mention. With un-manly names like Beautiful and Pretty, its hard to get too excited, but they were very intersting and very colourful. It is quite incredible the range and mix of colours vibrantly laid out in the springs. And eventually, Morning Glory, one of the ...

... taking. At one point we actually crossed into Wyoming. We went as far up the pass as we could until our visibility was bad enough we were concerned about losing the trail. When we were finished with our snow machines, we were frozen pretty good. We had lunch at the local diner, which was outstanding, then we made our way back through Yellowstone. There were more animals out ...

... Lake. The water was a perfect deep blue colour this afternoon and it stretched for miles and miles until before being bordered by more mountains in the distance. On the shore of the lake we paused briefly on a grey, pebbly beach to admire our surroundings, then drove on through the park to a less attractive but equally worthy stop: Mud Volcano. This area of bubbling mud pools, steaming vents and generally foul smells is just one of the ...

... ik). Het was feitelijk een GAT. Men was weliswaar met de wegen bezig, maar volgens mij ging het eerder om het aanleggen van de eerste weg in plaats van het verbeteren van een bestaande weg. Toen we door het stadje hadden gereden moesten we stoppen, we kregen een 'Pilot Car' om ons verder te loodsen, zegmaar een soort 'pace car'...maar dan langzamer :D. Tja, in iedergeval hadden we besloten om NIET hier te overnachten. Waar wel, zouden we wel zien.

Today was a long day. 12 hours from door to door. We left at about 9:30 and had to stop at West Yellowstone to get our park passes and sign the girls up for the junior ranger station. Then we headed into town and picked up our Virtual Tour Guide. This is an excellent tool and gives you lots of information about the park and features we highly recomend it - it even has soothing guitar music between the stops. My folks say ...

When we woke at Annie Boo and Drew's house we all had some pops fpr brakfast. ( almost forgot how amazing they were and talked about what we wanted to do for the day. We came to the conclusion that we would drive towards Absarokee (which is about 1 miles towards the beartooth mountains) and look for some rocks to boulder (climb). We drove for about 45 minutes and found this awesome trail that has some rock faces about half a mile into it. Tripp and I climbed for some time ...

Breathtaking is an over used word but is completely accurate here. This tiny little place just outside of Yellowstone is the perfect hideaway. The Montana Shakes Company preformed The Merry Wives of Windsor against this magnificent backdrop. My initial reason for ...

... later that I forgot to address them!! I'm sorry, I was working on about 2 hours of car sleep. . . Some of them I put partial addresses so I hope they still make it. Josh, Jodi and mr. man- I didn't put anything so you won't be getting that one. :( Sorry! More to come though, promise! Hope everyone is doing well! Kate
