Last day at Yellowstone

We took one last swing through the park on our way south to Colorado. We stopped at many interesting features.


This is a glacial erratic which was moved here by a glacier. This type of rock didn't come from around here, hence the name erratic. Richard is shown for scale purposes.


A nice hike up and down hills brought us to a location where you could spot Upper Yellowstone Falls. There was another hike down (and back up !) about 300 steps, but we passed on that one.


The other way from the falls lookout. Lower Yellowstone Falls is down that-a-way. There, you can get pretty close to the falls via a short walk and 56 stairs. We did do that, and the boys both loved it. The canyon walls are colored in a way which leaves no doubt as to why this is called Yellowstone River.


The Dragon's Mouth. It stunk here. Hydrogen sulfide gas comes out of the ground all over this area. It was not a nice place to smell.


Sulfur Cauldron. More hydrogen sulfide. Icky.
