Yellowstone- Day 2

Tuesday morning we had a quick breakfast before heading over to a few other viewing spots for the falls. We once again marveled at the power of the water rushing over the rocks.

We then headed out to do a short hike to the Natural Bridge. The hike was quite nice and bear
free.

We then headed back to the Lake Village area for a picnic next to Yellowstone Lake. It was quite windy but the views were spectacular!


Does everything seem normal in this picture?

Next, we drove over to the Noris Geyser Basin where we toured a bunch of the geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and steam vents. The landscape is just surreal with steam escaping everywhere. You realize you're in a really strange place. The mud pot was my favorite. It was going crazy and they had to close off a section of the boardwalk. The sign read, "Hot flying mud!" We saw a couple of small geysers. We also stopped at the Painters Pots.








Once again we had dinner at the Canyon Lodge before resting up for the next day's adventures!
