Yellowstone National Park Day 2

After waiting for the snow to cease and the temperature to rise above freezing, we ventured out to the Old Faithful area of the park. Saw the obligatory, albeit impressive, hourly geyser.

We also saw a large field of smaller, bubbling springs above Old Faithful. Colorful and varied edging surrounded these hot fissures in the ground, as well as equally intricate streams from their activity.

While viewing the hot springs, the weather shifted from sun to snow and back to sun again. Never hit 40 degrees either. But we are hardy stock...with hot tea.
