Today is our second day in Yellowstone - yesterday we walked around a small area of the park (it's HUGE) and saw Old Faithful and some other geysers and hot springs. This really deserves a whole slideshow of photos, but here's a couple. The rest are available in my picasa area, under Green Tortoise.
After we left the Old Faithful city (it's swarming) we drove to an area of the park called Fountain Paint Pots which was far more impressive than Old Faithful. We saw a crazily energetic geyser which seemed to last and last, but I think we might have just been lucky and caught it at the right time of year. I guess the rest of the time Old Faithful is the winner.
Last night it was cold, and this morning it was even colder - 27 F which is just below freezing.
The day before we were at Grand Tetons still. The scenery was really incredible, as Ansel 
Adams well knew. We camped in the park for two nights, and on the second day we did a great hike up one of the mountains. We walked around 5 miles around Jenny Lake up to Inspiration Point, via Hidden Falls.
