Yellowstone | Day 2 and Grand Teton

My decision to forego the tent in favor of a hotel paid off, as I woke up to snow falling at higher elevations. Yellowstone has an unbelievable contrast in elevation, so some parts were warm and sunny while others had over a foot of snow.



The bison stayed out of the snow as much as they could. Even if it meant walking along the road to lower elevations.





I found a few more hydrothermal pools and vents. The minerals make the water a very vibrant blue, and it's crystal clear





A trip to Yellowstone isn't complete without visiting Old Faithful. The couple standing next to me had notebooks filled with equations to determine when it would blow, but they were off by 18 minutes. I didn't have the heart to tell them that nature doesn't work that way.



After a quick stop at Yellowstone Lake, I continued on to Grand Teton.




There was even more snow at Grand Teton, so I only have pictures from the trail end of the park.
