Wow, just wow. Yellowstone park is simply one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. We had an aborted attempt to get to Yellowstone the weekend previously, but our car broke down and the one mechanic nearby turned out to be blind and was unable to fix our car. This weekend, however, we got up early and made it with no issues and it turned out to be well worth it. The first day we saw more animals than we'd seen in our trip so far, buffalo are everywhere and Elk appear at dusk to fill up the gaps left by the Buffalo. Within thirty minutes we saw our first bear, a Grizzly, by a river near the road.

Old Faithful was, well, faithful and a good watch. The geysers and hot springs a good break from animal watching, this park is simply full of things to see and admire.

We'll be back!

Hot springs, the colours are caused by microorganisms.

Buffalo scaring the hell out of me. One of the bulls was staring at me and they're 1 ton killing machines that can run at 30mph. A bit unnerving!
