I am back again trying to remember what we did on our vacation in Wyoming. If you have never been to the Teton Mountains, you must make it one of your "must do things". The mountains are masive, spectacular, breath taking, wonderful, and so discriptive I can't do them justice. Marsha and I enjoyed them from the car driving along the foothills and seeing moose, deer, elk, buffalo, sparrows, geese, antelope, and other kinds of wildlife.
In Yellowstone park we saw Old Faithful do what he has been doing for years and years, blowing hot water and steam several feet in the sky. I had read about it and finally got to see it. God must have had a reason for including it in His creation of this earth. There are other hot spots on the earth but can't say I know where they are. In Yellowstone there are hot springs that produce water temperature above 140 degrees F. These places generally stink!! Sulfur smell is bad. There is also a mud spring where mud continually blows up inches in the air.
Yellowstone lake is huge. I knew there was a lake there but I had no idea it was as big as it is. It's water color is clear as crystal. Marsha loved the beautiful water falls and took pictures of everyone for a album she put together when we got home. If you ever come to our house for a visit, the picture hangs on our wall as you walk into our house. We stopped at one spot that advertised a natural bridge in the park. Thinking it was only a short ways from the parking lot, we set out on foot to see this bridge. We took along a bottle of water and off we went into the wilderness park. The short hike took us almost 3 miles. We could have seen bear but we didn't and that may have been a good thing. The bridge was cool but not sure it was worth the hike as we ran out of water before we got back to the car. The bridge was high up and to get on top of it would have required quite a climb. It connected two knolls together made of brown rock arched shaped in the center. After admiring the natural beauty we hiked back to the car.
That day we drive the circle around the park taking in as much of its wonders as we had time for. There is much to see and do. The wild life if plentiful. Bison walk freely and anywhere they want to.
We camped out in our little tent hopping not to have a bear join us. Had one shown up, I'm sure we would have scooted over and made room. Marsha and I had a great time and hope to return some day to complete our adventure in the Yellowstones.
