One of the things totally different here in Yellowstone from the previous places we stopped in our round trip - weather. When we came here it was snowing and the temperature hit zero. After hot California, Arizona, Nevada and partly Utah big change. No matter the bad weather we checked in the hotel and headed to the park.
Yellowstone, the second largest national park in the U.S. (after nat. park in Alaska) is different than other parks we saw on our way. The geologically young and therefore unstable area famous mostly because of geysers. Two thirds of all world geysers are found here. Simply said, the Yellowstone is huge green forest and among the trees in some parts there is water steam raising into the sky, some geysers are erupting the water into the air. And one of the best deals in Yellowstone - you can see many wild animals very close to you.
Herds of bisons or in America known as buffalos, deers, elks, many of birds, wolfs... All of them we saw just couple meter of us (you drove through in the car mostly, so it's safe if you don't get off the car what we sometimes did). But we are still waiting for the king of the Yellowstone - grizzly. So, hopefully tomorrow.
It looks like that we are moving to the Grand Teton National park below Yellowstone tomorrow. And after that we are going back to San Francisco, respectively to Davis to our friend's house. Maybe we will go to the California coast for a while. Who knows. Nothing is planned exactly and we take it easy. So, take it easy too! And look forward to the pictures, hopefully soon...
