Yellowstone - Day three
Again prepare for a photo overload!
Leaving Yellowstone.
We had heard that the east entrance was opening today. We decided to drive through Hayden Valley again, but this time as a loop going counterclockwise as we made our way out of Yellowstone. We were hopeful for some better weather views, but first we decided to tourist the thermal areas we'd skipped when we were animal hunting.
We headed south from our campground towards Old Faithful on hwy 191. Here are some of the views from the "hot spots".
Many of these spots had water boiling up and splashing upward - "mini" old Faithful's.
We went and watched Old Faithful again, this time with a blue sky and a breeze from the other direction.
Tourists following their leader (holding a flag).
We then went in to the Lodge and ate a nice lunch after oohing and awing over the inside of the building.
After lunch we drove to the area that had just opened, it was previously closed at the Keplar Cascades area. On our way to first day opening views!

The ever present Yellowstone Raven.
Valley view along the Madison river before leaving Yellowstone, headed for the West entrance as we exit the park.
I loved our "early" season visit to Yellowstone❤
