Old Faithful Geyser Basin – Monday, July 14

When we visited Old Faithful on Saturday, we just took in the star attraction and enjoyed a meal with the Kiersteads at the lodge. Today, we returned (just the McLaughlins) and took in much more of the geyser basin. The variety still amazes me. Plus, we witnessed a couple geysers that work in concert or geysers that are higher (but less predictable than OF) or hot springs that are just stunningly colorful.


We saw an eaglet today! The Kiersteads had seen the mom or dad yesterday. The eaglet doesn’t have the white plumage on its head yet. We hope to see an adult before we leave.

We also saw a whole herd of elk crossing a river.
