Yellowstone – Day 4

On Wednesday, 6/28 we headed off on a road trip to see another area of the park we hadn’t seen before. We went north on the Grand Loop Road to catch the northern loop section to Mammoth. Along the way we stopped at Roaring mountain (which was strangely quiet!), Obsidian Cliff and Sheepeater Cliff, that had some interesting shaped hexagonal rocks. At Mammoth Hot Springs I walked for ages along the boardwalks and paths with the hot springs travertine terraces. Coming home we stopped at the petrified tree and Tower Falls. It was a fully packed day!

      • Kurt, Chelsey, Brett, and Tyler had a GREAT time watching the fireworks at Alvord’s house last Saturday night! The weather was fine and everyone enjoyed themselves very much. They had a lot of fireworks, and everything went well. I get my kicks watching the brilliant fireflies light up the night skies, outside our windows, etc. in the nighttime. They are beautiful!!!
