Old Faithful

---

On our first full day in West Yellowstone, we drove into Yellowstone National Park and headed to Old Faithful. Stopped along the way to see the amazing sights. We stopped at Black Sand Geyser, saw some animals - not sure if it was a mule deer or a female moose. We also stopped at Midway Geyser Basin. That received its name because it's midway between the West Entrance and Old Faithful. While at Black Sand Geyser, there was a very big crow, I think it could be called a raven, and he was sitting right in the parking lot and Dean fell in love with this bird. He took about a minute worth of video of it while talking to the bird. We stopped at everything! I took so many photos that I filled up my memory card. I was glad that I brought my laptop so I could transfer the photos to that. Enjoy the pictures of our first full day in Yellowstone.

It's not lava, it's bacteria, created by the sulphur and heat.
