Yellowstone National Park, WY

DSC02954Wednesday the three of us drove up to Yellowstone and visited the geysers and hot springs (to look at, not bathe in). It is a stunning landscape there, and one of the largest supervolcano calderas on the planet. When it erupts, it will take out the middle half of the American continent. But it may be another million years that happens.

The highlight of the visit was catching Beehive geyser erupt, and walking through its spray. The steam was hot, the water frigid snow melt. Really cool.
