July 9th ~ Mammoth Hot Springs

Mound Spring – Mammoth Hot Springs

Yesterday was our transitioning day where we moved from centrally located Norris Campground, up to the north-west corner of the park, Mammoth Hot Springs. The in-park campground which is just a mile north of the visitor’s center had a place for us and we quickly got settled in.  Continue reading →

Yellowstone National Park ~ Norris Geyser Basin

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Tim and Joanne Joseph

July 7th ~ Norris Geyser Basin

We spent part of the day exploring Norris Geyser Basin. Not too exciting to be honest, at least compared to my favorites between Madison Junction and Old Faithful. Although it is the most acidic of the basins, the main showpieces are dormant and erupt rarely.

WARNING: Do not allow spray from any of the geysers land on your glasses or camera lens. It is highly acidic and can damage or destroy them if not wiped clean immediately.

Still, there are a few features that are noteworthy, at least for geyser lovers…  Continue reading →

Yellowstone ~ Midway and Upper Geyser Basins

July 6th ~ Yellowstone National Park

Tim and Joanne at Grand Prismatic Spring

Yellowstone National Park is HUGE – like 2.2 million acres huge. There are five ways you can enter/leave the park, from the east, south, west, north and north-east. The major roadway through the park is in the shape of a figure eight.

There are over 10,000 thermal features in Yellowstone which includes steaming pools, hissing fumaroles, boiling mud pots and of course erupting geysers. Yellowstone had more thermal features than the rest of the world, combined!  Continue reading →

Yellowstone ~ Old Faithful, Great Fountain and White Dome Geysers

Posted on July 9, 2017 by Tim and Joanne Joseph

July 5th ~ Yellowstone National Park

On the loop drive – Firehole Lake

The move up from the Teton’s to Yellowstone was uneventful, except that the park we wanted to stay in (Madison Junction) was already filled before 9:00 so we moved on to Norris Campground at Norris Geyser Basin. For $10 a night with a senior pass, we got no hook-ups, but a wonderful view along the river’s edge.  Continue reading →

Jenny Lake and Hidden Falls

Posted on July 8, 2017 by Tim and Joanne Joseph

July 3rd ~ Grand Teton National Park

Tim and Joanne at Hidden Falls

There is construction going on at Jenny Lake, and the parking situation is dismal. We were advised to get there before 9:00 in the morning unless we could levitate our car. WELL, we did not get out and about when we had planned, so early afternoon, we were prepared to play the go in circles, and wait for a spot to open.  Continue reading →
