<\/a><\/p>\nWe got into the park and stopped at the first visitors center to use the restroom and to get a sticker for the cargo box. \u00a0As we got out of the car we noticed that there was a herd of elk on the lawn. \u00a0When we came out of the visitors center, the elk decided to cross the parking lot. \u00a0The park rangers would not let us go to our car because that would require us to go in between the herd. \u00a0He told us we had to wait until the entire herd crossed. \u00a0Any other time I would have been thrilled to watch the elk but we had limited daylight left and still had a ways to go to see Old Faithful. \u00a0Seems like they took their precious time but they all crossed after stopping to sniff our bikes on the back of the car.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the elk, we missed the eruption of Old Faithful by 5 minutes! \u00a0We did however get to see Beehive Geyser erupt. \u00a0It only happens every 8-24 hours. \u00a0We did not stay for the next Old Faithful eruption because it would have been after dark.<\/p>\n We also stopped at the Grand Prismatic Pool. \u00a0It was really neat. \u00a0I think that because it was so cold outside, the steam from these pools was really visible. \u00a0This made seeing the colors in the pools a little harder. \u00a0Still very pretty.<\/p>\n With the very last bit of daylight left, we stopped to see a waterfall on the drive out of the park.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
