The Great American Drive
Day 6 - Yellowstone National Park
October 7th 1999

Up at sunrise again. There were Elk everywhere outside the hotel, feeding on the grass. I followed them around with my camera and tripod for some nice shots. Mammoth Hot Springs looked beautiful in the crisp morning air with huge clouds of steam floating above the surface. Today's major sights were Norris Geyser Basin, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Hayden Valley for some buffalo fun, then over to Lake Yellowstone for sunset and over the Continental Divide to get to Old Faithful Inn for the night.

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”

-- Samuel Johnson
