Yellowstone

Our first of many encounters with ... BISON!!!
We woke up at 6 am and got into the park by 7 am. It wasn't early enough. The park was having a free-entry day and it was packed. But in between the traffic jams, we got to see awesome things, including Old Faithful, on our one-day speedy drive-through. 
Old Faithful spouting!

View from Mammoth Hot Springs
Tucker, unfortunately, isn't allowed on any trails in national parks, so we couldn't stray too far from the pavement. It was very cool to see the earth so active, bubbling and boiling and steaming. It reminds that there is a lot more going on than what we see humans doing on the surface.


Much of the interesting springs were so shrouded in steam it was hard to see.
