Hello From Yellowstone National Park!

After a leisurely morning we headed to Yellowstone National Park—Mammoth Springs entrance.  I’ve been to Yellowstone multiple times in the past but hadn’t been to Mammoth Hot Springs for 31 years (1983).  The Hot Springs don’t even resemble the Springs from 31 years ago.  In essence, the landscape is gray and white with very few active springs.  The Springs I remembered were covered in vast hot springs and crystalline terraces with water hues of turquoise, blue, yellow, gold, and copper. 

As we walked the lower part of the Springs as well as the upper portion signs stated that “….the Hot Springs change over time.”  Gary has memories of being in Mammoth 42 years ago (1972) when the landscape was full of vibrantly colored sulfur smelling terraces. 

Despite these changes we found incredible beauty in the mono-tone landscapes and we hope you enjoy the photos.

Tomorrow will be filled with hikes and more stories!

Cheers to all,

With love Ellie and Gary
