Fairy Falls & Grand Prismatic
After camping at Madison, Cathleen and I went to the Old Faithful Snow Lodge EDR for breakfast to fuel up for our big hike. We hiked 3 miles out to Fairy Falls:

James' Visit - Day 4
After breakfast at Canyon Cafeteria, we headed towards Old Faithful. Along the way, we stopped at the Artist Paintpots where the mud is boiling:
Then, we drove down a little side road where there was a large bison herd. There were also two flocks of geese playing follow the leader:

We went on to Old Faithful geyser and went into the Inn for a little while. Then, we headed up to Mammoth Hot Springs and checked into the cabin. I showed James where I live and work. We drove the Upper Terrace Drive and viewed the terraces and hotsprings. Then, we went to Subway in Gardiner and got sandwiches for a picnic. Had a picnic at Lava Creek and drove out to Lamar Valley. Along the way, we took a side trip along Blacktail Plateau Drive. I'm glad we did because at the end of it, we saw a black bear:

James' visit - Day 2
We slept in and went to Wendy's for lunch. Then, we went to the square. I love this square. The antler arches make it very unique.





Then, we headed towards Yellowstone. Along the road, there were some more funny road signs. I didn't get a shot of the first one, but I believe it said something to the effect of :



"Wildlife Ahead"
We entered Yellowstone through the South Entrance and stopped at West Thumb Geyser Basin with Yellowstone Lake as a backdrop:




Then, we headed towards Cody, Wy. A little ways past the lake, after we had turned on the East Entrance Rd, we spotted a grizzly bear next to the road. James had never seen a grizzly before!


He's eating dandelions:
