Yellowstone trip; day 2 part 1.

Monday brought rain, lots of rain!  We ate our delicious  complimentary hotel breakfast and purchased some cheap plastic rain ponchos in town before heading into the park.  Skyler got plenty of exercise, his little Garmin tracker tracked 31,683 steps that day!

Looking West at the Gibbon River.

Gibbon Falls.

Wet!

On our way to see some paint pots.

Remnants of the 1988 fire.

Lots of rain meant lots of visible steam!

Bloop!

Iron oxide soil combined with dissolved limestone water made for some great contrast.

More boiling mud.

East view.

More picture taking.  His pictures turned out great.

Looking down from above.  The smell was incredible!  Smelled like canning on the stove and some sulphur.

Zoom in for the picture!

Fumerole.

Hot pool.

After the paint pots, we headed to Norris Geyser Basin.  Lots of rainy pics from there tomorrow.
