West Yellowstone, Montana Exploring the Basins

I don’t believe in coincidences. People come into your life for a reason. While we were eating our lunch at the Grand Tetons, a ranger stopped to talk to us. The usual conversation transpired, and he asked, “Where are you headed?” We told him the next stop was Yellowstone. He commented that Old Faithful was over-rated and a must-see was the Grand Prismatic Spring. His tip was to view it from the overlook. If it weren’t for our conversation, we would have missed the sign to the overlook. The view was breath-taking. Thank you, Ranger Jim.

Yellowstone is so expansive. We saw more hot springs, geysers, canyons, and rock formations in one day than one can imagine. It was a lot of driving just to get from place to place. The terrain kept changing each time we entered another area. Like everyone else who comes to Yellowstone, we had to see Old Faithful. While we waited for Old Faithful to spew, we were treated to another geyser going off. A two in one treat.
