Yellowstone: Mammoth to Old Faithful to Yellowstone Lake (TEA Day 51)

7/18

On July 18th (yesterday) we left Mammoth Hotel. We stayed that evening in the Lake Hotel, so we began to make our way down there.

These are paint pots, aka mud pots. They were really cool! This pool of mud was constantly bubbling.

This is White Dome Geyser. We got to see it erupt.

There’s Old Faithful! Since it’s really famous, we were excited to see it erupt. However, we got there right after it erupted. So we walked around and saw the rest of the Old Faithful Geyser Bsin, and then got to wait another 30 minutes.
