We went to Yellowstone the day after Grand Teton, Yellowstone was also gigantic we had to drive through Grand Teton to get to Yellowstone. We got to see Old Faithful geyser go off it was cool and tall, but we wish that the Grand geyser was still going off. It goes like 250 feet in the air for 1hr to 1hr30min long. Gideon’s least favorite part was the fact that it was so hot every day we were there. He liked Yellowstone because he got to see all the cool things and that it was fun.

        When we were at Yellowstone there were bison right in the middle of the road it was cool. I took selfies with them from in the car it was hilarious, and one crossed the road in front of us then ran back. Mom and Dad said it was neat to see the bison in the road and one bison crossed the road and on the other side another bison confronts that one and it runs away to the opposite side of the road from it. Gideon said the funniest thing he saw was the bison pooping with its butt towards the road.

Gideon said the animal that was the coolest was the elk right next to the road, but he really wanted to see a bear. Dad said his favorite animal he got to see was the elk next to the road or the eagle flying. Mom said that her favorite animal was the elk. My favorite animal was the elk right next to the road. Ephraim said his favorite animal was the bison and the elk.

        I did not like the places that had Sulphur smell, but the geysers and mud volcano/mud pots were stinky. God made Sulphur to smell like rotten eggs and it is not healthy if you smell too much of it. Mom said she did not like the smell of Sulphur, and it smelled like rotten eggs. Dad said the part that he did not like was that the Sulphur smell got strong at some points.

        Some facts I learned about Yellowstone are that Yellowstone is the world’s very first national park. It is made of a super volcano and you must stay on the paths, or you might fall in. Did you know that bison have fallen into new hot springs and stuff? Ephraim said he remembered that it was a volcano and we had to stay on the paths or if we went off, we might fall in. Bison have fallen in because they did not know and weren’t being careful. Mom said the hike to the canyon in Yellowstone made her feel nervous to do it.

        The mud volcano was not a volcano anymore because it had blown itself up a couple years after it was formed. The geysers were still working, and we got to see old faithful geyser and other small geysers. They smelled bad everyone thought so. They were cool to learn the history of the mud pots and mud volcanos. One it said that it blasted up the trees like how fire works go up into the air if you put fire on the end.

Mom said that it was nice to walk around the geyser basin and see old faithful go off from the back. Ephraim said he remembered the geysers were still working, and we got to see old faithful geyser and other small geysers. The Grand Geyser was the tallest geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin

        Gideon said that the mammoth springs were his favorite because the white and that I was complaining that it hurt my eyes. Dad said his favorite part was the hot springs with the different colors that were caused by the minerals and heat. Mom said that her favorite thing was that she got to learn about the different dynamics between the geyser basin and mammoth springs, how hot the water is and why, the coolest thing she saw was a spring in mammoth springs that looked like ice on the side of a mountain, and it was all white.

So those are the things we did at Yellowstone and some facts on Yellowstone. There are more parks that are stories for other days. Well, I will tell you what else we have been doing next time. I cannot wait for the other parks we are going to go to in the future and to write about them.
