West Yellowstone Part 4

Yellowstone National Park.  Just wow.  I can see why it's one of the most visited national parks.  I wasn't going to have such high expectations, but it truly blew me away.  The girls loved it as well.

We entered the park around 8 am with light traffic.  All parking was available and the walk paths didn't feel too crowded.  So word from the wise, enter early.  By lunch time, it was bumper-to-bumper with stand still traffic.  

Entering the park we did see a bison grazing.  So fun to spot!  Our first stop was Fountain Paint Pot.  We really enjoyed this area! The girls loved seeing the mud pots, geysers, hot springs and fumaroles.  One of the geysers sounded like beach waves.  Amazing! Such an awesome first stop.







   















Next stop Grand Prismatic Springs.  At Grand Prismatic, you can continue your walk from the base for a full view.  We didn't continue the walk because of the kiddos, but from pictures on the internet, it would have been incredible to see.  Maybe one day in the future we'll see it.


^^ Walking to Grand Prismatic











^^ How stinking cute is JoJo!!!

After Grand Prismatic, we made our way to Old Faithful which I'll do a separate  post.
