We made it to Old Faithful and only had to wait about 30 minutes before it went off. The sky was overcast so the pictures didn't turn out to great but it was very impressive. After viewing the geyser we headed into the Lodge. This is what Tim remembered most from his childhood when they came. It was gorgeous on the inside. All the old timbers. We milled around in here for an hour or so. You could spend a day in here just checking it all out.
After we finished here we headed out to complete the lower loop. We stopped at a neat little area with picnic tables and had our picnic lunch. This really is the best way to eat here. Each of the little villages usually has a little diner type place but they are packed and it is so much more fun to have your picnic out with the beautiful scenery.
Next we hit some more of the geysers and steam pots. These are interesting but not near as pretty as the waterfalls and canyons. These areas are very hot and I worry about the kids getting too close. We always left Roxi in the car when we went to see these features just in case she broke loose. Yikes!
We went on a little turn off that had a gorgeous waterfall. We saw some deer along this turnoff.
We rounded the lower loop and were back in Canyon where we went yesterday. We took a different pull out and had a beautiful different view of the upper falls. It was called Artists point and you can sure tell why.
We headed back to the trailor. It was around 6 but we were exhausted again. The kids watched a movie and Tim and I went to bed! It was quite cold at night. We all fought over the extra blanket! Daytime temps were pleasant. We wore shorts but kept a jacket close.
