Spring USA Trip - Day9


Since the south entrance to the Yellowstone from Jackson is still closed, we have to detour by entering Yellowstone through West Yellowstone , Montana. Our first visiting point is at the Old Faithful Geysers.

Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
With half of the earth’s geothermal features, Yellowstone holds the planet’s most diverse and intact collection of geysers, hot springs, mudpots, and fumaroles.

Combine this with more than 10,000 thermal features comprised of brilliantly colored hot springs, bubbling mudpots, and steaming fumaroles
