Yellowstone National Park

Yosemite was probably my favorite National park. I made me very thankful for our RV. Ever slept in a tent in snowy weather? Nah, me either, and I don't really have it on my bucket-list. 

Before we headed to our campsite, we stopped at Gibbon Falls and a anonymous hot spring.  

The view from our camp. 

DJ can't help but fish in every park!

We where not prepared for what was in store during our visit. When we arrived at the park, it was a brisk 40*, but during the night it dropped and snowed a couple inches.... remember what I said about the RV vs tent? 

We headed off to see some amazing, egg-smelling-hot springs. 

Many of the springs in the park exceed the boiling point, and therefore are very dangerous to approach, despite their appealing look with all the surrounding snow. 

Steamboat geyser, which when at it's highest point, reaches hights up to 380 feet! The last time it was that high was in 2014, however.

These are called the Paintpots, but if I named them they would be called the Bathtubs.

Here are some bison enjoying some icy grass. We saw quite a few of these giants while driving through the park. 

Old Faithful, which explodes shooting water and steam up to 180 feet. 

Mom grew up in Alaska; she does not like snow. She was a good sport and stayed out for a little while.  

The snow even captures our attention at the dump station!
