Part 4 - Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

A bumpy journey through a road construction site that is the John D Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway takes us into the massive Yellowstone National Park. We base ourselves at the Snow Lodge at Old Faithful.

Old Faithful Inn - an impressive 1904 wooden lodge...

  

 

Miche on the roof terrace...

 

View of Old Faithful steaming from Old Faithful Inn...

Views inside the lodge, even a wide angle lens couldn't capture the scale...

The very upper sections are closed due to twisting after the 1958 earthquake...

 

 

 

We bumped into this handsome chap as we wandered around the geysers...

Miche outside the our lodge... The Obsidian Dining Room there had the best and most tender steak that I have ever tasted (Piedmontese apparently)...

Following the anniversary of a snowstorm one August that stranded everyone in the Inn, the park celebrates 'Savage Christmas' on the 25th of August each year...

 

Peekaboo, Miche lurks by the sink...

 

 

Lily pond on the way back to Old Faithful...

As we leave, travelling west we encounter Elk grazing at the river...
