Yellowstone National Park with Sarah!

Hello all!

Alright, final adventure to Yellowstone National Park. A long 1.5 hours drive from the town of Jackson though. Pretty scenery along the way.


Our first stopover. I've completely forgotten the name of this large lake.


The road was actually quite busy with loads of cars and RVs.

And they had roadworks somewhere near the entrance of the park as well. Summer is the busiest period in Yellowstone but the construction workers have to do their road works during this period too because the other months are just too cold. The pickup truck had a sign that read "Pilot Car. Follow Me". So cute.

Welcome!

Look at the height of the snow during the Winter. Hahahaha.

The newspaper and pamphlets had a very interesting section on avoiding bears. I can't rmb any of it right now but couldn't stop laughing.

Mini Waterfall.

I'd been to the river in the Winter before. Look at the difference. How did so much snow melt away?

I tread the path you walked before. LOL.

We saw a whole row of cars parking on the side and being kpo again, we stopped over and voila! Bison! They were crossing the road without a care in the world. Hahaha. Animal Planet was showing a documentary called "Yellowstone: Battle for Life" the other night and I picked up a few points regarding bison. Do you know why they like to roll around in the dirt? Because the more dirt and dust they conjure, the more attractive they look to a mate!

Rapids whose name escapes me again. Haha.

We like to take pictures of the other person taking pictures of other people.

Some sulphur hot spring. Stinky stinky.

After almost 2 extra hours of driving, we finally reach Canyon Village.

Pretty ain't it? There was a rainbow too. And we were just on the edge of the waterfall.

The Grand Canyon. Yellowstone style.

The walk down was easy but the walk up? Noooo. I so feel like asking my family to walk down while I just wait up on top for them. LOL!

I think this was the Upper Falls.

Next stop: West Thumb Geyser Basin. It was originally our first stop but I think we missed the exit somehow somewhere. By the way, pretty place. The geysers all had different colours in them.

Last stop of the day. Old Faithful Geyser.

Boom Boom Boom! The geyser actually does not make the loud hissing noises as the ones you see in the movies.

We were kinda sitting in the wrong direction. The wind blew the water towards us. Hahaha.

Again, we spotted a group of cars on our way home. And another animal! I think it's an elk but it could be a deer too. Did you know male elk shed their antlers every Spring to grow new ones?

My motive for stopping over was just to take a picture of the pretty mountains. But surprise surprise!

We saw deer! Not normal deer but running deer. Something had to be chasing them for them to be fleeing at such speed.

Tadah! A bear! OMG! I was so ecstatic then. I waited so long to finally see one. Do you know I have colleagues who've worked here for more than 2 years and never seen a wild bear?

Sarah calls it "Fat Thing". LOL!

Beautiful sunset to end of the day.
