Yellowstone

 If you have not been here forget what you have seen on TV. It is more diverse, more surprising, more different than what a TV can show. Today we covered a hundred miles through very different terrain at every turn. The ecosystem is diverse. Nothing like driving around inside the caldera of a super volcano. maybe it will blow again, maybe not. It is venting a lot of steam and pressure right now so maybe that will keep the lid on.

Canary spring, Mammoth hot springs

Tower falls

...that is on shore of Lake Yellowstone

steam from mud volcano

 Did you know Yellowstone was home to many lakes? Largest of which is Lake Yellowstone, 400ft deep covering 135 sq miles. Just one of many factoids I was unaware of.
