Total miles traveled 8112
We woke up to freezing temperatures, and a covering of snow. After packing up the camper we toured the southeast and central areas of Yellowstone. We visited the Mud Volcano and Sulphur Caldron, as well as the Norris Geyser basin. The kids got their first “taste” of sulphur-smelling mudpots, fumaroles, hot springs and geysers. Very hot, very smelly,very interesting, and all very unique. Steamboat geyser, the tallest in the world, hasn't had a major eruption since 2005, although we did see several minor eruptions (15 feet, vs 300-400 feet for the 2005 eruption.) We also visited the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, and both of the beautiful Upper and Lower Falls. There is a lot of water flowing now, and from the brink of the upper falls, we could really feel the power of the surging water.The wildlife was plentiful again today. We ended the day at a campground in West Yellowstone, Montana.
