Hi All,
With a 60% rain forecast, we decided to tour the geyser basins where the trails were short and close to the parking.
First stop was West Thumb Geyser Basin. The colors and clarity of the pools were awesome.
More colorful thermophylic bacteria.
Next we drove to Old Faithful. We hiked to the overlook, 250 feet above the geyser basin in time to watch Old Faithful erupt. If you look closely you will see the arc of hundreds of people around the geyser.
Next we walked the upper basin for more extraordinary, colorful views.

We caught a break with the weather; rain while we drove, no rain when we hiked!
Love,
