The Upper Geyser Basin

Today we woke up, packed our stuff at Grant Village and headed back to Old Faithful to explore the Upper Geyser Basin in more detail. We first stopped by the Visitor Center where we picked up some eruption predictions, then we headed out to view another eruption of Old Faithful.

After that we strolled along the trails and boardwalks checking out all the interesting thermal features.

When we got to Morning Glory Pool we ran into our friends Mike and Tracy and spent most of the rest of the day walking around with them.

We saw several small geysers erupt and were even treated to the eruption and resulting rainbow of Riverside Geyser.

We saw some bison close up a well after we checked out Biscuit Basin. After watching the eruption of Riverside, Noelle and Eric parted ways with Mike and Tracy and headed to Black Sand Basin.

Finally we met Noelle's family for dinner at a small fast food style restaurant near Old Faithful.
