We did the north section inside Yellowstone National Park today. In a nutshell we visited and experienced the:
Gibbon Falls - not so spectacular
Beryl Spring - not bad. One of the hottest hot springs in Yellowstone
Artist Paint Pots - awesome. Bubbling mud pools and also where some idiot driver blocked our vehicle in the car park.
Mammoth Hot Springs - one of the great highlights in Yellowstone
Gardiner - in Montana. A place where we had a picnic lunch.
Tower Falls - an average Yellowstone waterfall.
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - magnificent. We walked and hiked to four vantage points; one vantage point was a climb down to the top of the Yellowstone Falls. It was in full splendour and totally 10 out of 10 for the most scenic sight in the US. Truly awesome.

Tomorrow we will drive around the southern section of Yellowstone and see the great Yellowstone Lake and other geysers not visited so far. As in wildlife we have seen many bison, mule deers, chipmunks, squirrels, however no bears have been seen. Maybe tomorrow. Cheers
