Yellowstone

We got back from Yellowstone today, and I gotta say, it was pretty amazing.

The car drive there was okay, but I think the coolest part was actually being in the park.

The first think that pops into my mind with the words Yellowstone National Park, is the bacteria pools. That was our first stop in the natural wonders. (Besides animals.) Technically our first stop was to look at a moose.

The bacteria pools are pretty sweet. They smell bad, like rotten egg salad, but they are awesome. The one I liked was a blue like I've never seen, and I've come to think that it was dyed that way. I know it isn't but it was still cool.

Next on our endless loop was the Bison. That was cool too.

I've never seen a bison before. I know, this might sound normal, but for some reason, they were not the way I pictured them. Somehow, (maybe off of cartoons) I came up with the idea that they were huge, furry, scary creatures. Not so. They were about the same size as your average cow, maybe bigger. We did see one that was huge though. Anyway, that was another cool thing. Also, these bison apparently don't care about cars, because they were sitting right next to the road. Some even crossed it. You'd think they'd run, but no, they sit there and chew. Kinda weird.

After that, we stopped at some place called "Old Faithful". It's apparently this geyser thing that shoots into the air like, 120 feet or something? I don't know, but, I was excited nonetheless as we went. We waited, and when it went off, it was cool. Shot up pretty far.

Then, we went to a canyon place. We ate lunch there, and then visited the Lower Falls. That was something only top notch authors can describe well, so, I'll give it my best shot, but it won't even come close to the awesomeness of the Falls.

It goes down about ten times back and forth down the face of a mountain to get to a platform that has the Falls right next to it. The Falls, green and white, are immensely loud. You can watch as the water kind of crystallizes, then turns into spray. It falls down about 100 yards, then crashes into the water below. It's cool.

That's just the major points though. Those were the parts I liked. If there's anything else you want to know about, let me know, as I am now the Yellowstone Expert. I'm probably going to be talking more about it on my video blog.
