These pictures really can't express the rotten egg smell of the sulfur from the steam. Crack an egg and leave it rot for a few days and you might get the idea. Actually, don't. Just take our word for it -- it stinks.
We hiked around Norris Geyser Basin for some amazing eruptions -- all pretty unpredictable and random.
The green algae here was rather unique and pretty.
As was this enchanting blue/brown slurry mixture. I felt myself strangely drawn into the blue light before Kim pulled me out.
It seemed that many places we drove had bison chilling out by the road side, like this big dude.
Kim was a bit apprehensive about the buffalo, but she absolutely adored the chipmunks.
We hiked up a little hillside and found this mud pot spurting hot mud 4 or 5 feet into the air.
Again, we have a video but haven't uploaded it yet. It's hard to describe the howling, hissing noise than came from this crack in the earth.
The charred, poisoned landscape can only really be appreciated from above. I bet it would be neat to fly a small plan over Yellowstone.
One more of many bison that we saw, this one had a nice reflection. I myself reflected on one of the books I really didn't enjoy reading in high school -- Bless the Beasts and the Children. Weird book -- I can't recommend it.
And we figured this sign in the educational center probably gets its fair share of laughs, so we didn't want you to miss out.
