While in Idaho, we decided to visit Yellowstone park--it's only two hours away from Shane's parent's house. This is normally a great time of the year to go, since the tourists are mostly gone and the weather is (usually) pretty good. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad the day after we arrived from Seattle. But we decided to go anyway.
It was cold when we arrived at Yellowstone's west entrance, and the park had a fresh coat of snow. We saw elk and bison, then stopped at Firehole Canyon to see the waterfall. We stopped at the Midway geysers and Sahara had a blast running down the wooden paths and across the bridge. It was a little icy on the paths, and the steam from the geysers often made it seem like we were walking through clouds.
We finally made it to Old Faithful around lunch time. We spent some time in the huge Lodge and ate sandwiches before joining a few hundred other onlookers to watch Old Faithful do its thing.
