Last evening, on the way back from West Yellowstone, we made a couple stops. The first stop was at Gibbon Falls which is beautiful and just right off the road. We took a side road past Virginia Cascades and another mile- plus hike around Artist's Paintpots. It is a collection of thermal pools that are colored by iron oxide. The coolest was at the top of the hike where some molten travertine pools were bubbling and burping. It was so thick and white and unlike anything I have ever seen. David said it looked like boiling toothpaste. :)
This morning we went to breakfast at the little cafe. It was a fun change, but David will have a hard time convincing me to eat anywhere other than the trailer or picnic anytime soon! We have a picnic lunch packed so we can be gone all day today.
We stopped at some rapids. It is rare that you get to experience that type of energy safely! We also took a short walk with incredible views and thermal activity. This buffalo was contemplating a hot bath, maybe!
