Heating things up in West Yellowstone!

Our first day in West Yellowstone was hot, hot, hot as we explored all the geo thermal formations.  We woke to a cool 43 degrees but the geo thermal formations were boiling hot!  The photos really do not do them justice, it is something you have to see firsthand!  We visited the painted pots, artists pots, Norris Geyser Basin, Mammoth Hot Springs and of course the most famous geo thermal formation Old Faithful!

We are staying a few days at a beautiful campground just outside of the west entrance to Yellowstone and will be moving to the campground in the center of the park on Friday so more Yellowstone blogs to come!
