Yellowstone Thermal Features
We took quite a few videos at Yellowstone National Park during our visit last month, mostly of thermal features that we found interesting in one way or another. We have finally compiled them into a simple video!

Grand Teton National Park, Day 3
Once again, we headed out early to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t get that beautiful morning glow that we saw yesterday. Afterwards, we drove around looking for wildlife before heading back to town for breakfast. We were planning on searching for wildlife later on but by that time visibility was quite limited due to an incoming storm so we headed to the airport a bit earlier than planned to end our trip.

Grand Teton National Park, Day 2
We headed out early in the morning to catch sunrise. It was spectacular! After returning to our hotel for breakfast and some rest, we headed out again to see some beautiful mountain scenery and to look for wildlife. It was a good day!

Grand Teton National Park
We headed out from West Yellowstone, Montana once the sun rose to drive to Jackson, Wyoming via Idaho due to the roads in Yellowstone being closed a day earlier than scheduled. We made good time and were able to visit Grand Teton National Park after getting lunch in downtown Jackson.

Yellowstone National Park, Day 3, Afternoon
After leaving the Norris Geyser Basin, we headed up north to Mammoth Hot Springs for lunch. We found out from the waiter that the park made the decision to close the roads for the season at 7pm due to an incoming winter storm. The original closure date was scheduled for midnight tomorrow so we lost a day at the park. We were able to confirm this information on the park website. We decided to continue with our current plan and visited the nearby Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces before driving back down south to see the Artists Paint Pots. Rather than visit some of the smaller sights along the way, we headed down to the Midway Geyser Basin to see the Grand Prismatic Spring, something we originally planned on doing tomorrow.

Yellowstone National Park, Day 3, Morning
We headed out before sunrise once again, this time going north to Norris Geyser Basin. This large thermal area occupied nearly the entire morning!

Yellowstone National Park, Day 2
We headed out before sunrise to Yellowstone National Park, hoping to hit most of the thermal areas on the way to Old Faithful. We ended up seeing quite a bit and walking for many hours. We didn’t visit all the places we were planning to, mainly because we tried to catch some geysers erupting. That wasn’t particularly successful today.

Yellowstone National Park
We arrived via the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park late in the afternoon, less than two hours before sunset. Not much time at all! We decided to hit some of the thermal features just south of Madison Junction.

Zion in the Morning
We passed through Zion National Park again this morning along Route 9. We didn’t have too much time, just enough to stop at a few places along the way and snap some photos. The light was very different from when we passed by yesterday in the early evening. The sun was from the opposite direction and higher in the sky so there weren’t too many shadows on features to the west. And it was early enough that the sun wasn’t particularly harsh. Quite beautiful!

Cedar Breaks & Zion
We drove a loop today though a small bit of southwestern Utah, visiting Cedar Breaks National Monument to the north before driving southwards to visit various less traveled areas of Zion National Park. The weather was good and we saw some spectacular scenery!

Here and there but not quite everywhere!
