Just a quickie tonight, as we were on the road from 8:30 this morning to 7:30 tonight, spending most of the day in the Park, then riding all the way to Idaho Falls for the evening. A detailed narrative about our highs and lows today will appear in tomorrow's blog (Oh dear, one of those blogs. Better get comfy!). But for now, more new photos of today's discoveries and this summary. Night all! Sign us the bushwacked bikers.

Y would you not go here. Added to and checked off my bucket list same day.

S ick of people, people and still more people. Get me out of here!

E very parking lot jammed. With buses, bikes, cars and people.



N ot as much fun with the crowds, traipsing around like cattle.

A lot of hot, tired, grumpy tourists all around us.

T uesday two-fer permit special? Park twice as busy as yesterday.

O ld Faithful last straw. Read tomorrow's blog for our own version of a vent.

L oved the fumaroles, and painted pots. Personal favourites.



P lenty of new geothermals to discover today.

A lways a different landscape around each bend.

K eep away from the wildlife. They are dangerous.
