It was very nice to know that our only goal on this day was to see Yellowstone and get ourselves to Jackson, WY.
We rented a GPS device in Gardiner which was pre-loaded with a narrative about the things you could see in the park. It was really great as there were so many different routes you could go through the park to see everything.
We stopped in Mammoth first and enjoyed the amazing waterfalls (and bought a new sweatshirt). We spent the rest of the day going around the loops looking for animals and enjoying the Thermal Water Features.
The kids had a great time too and got really excited at seeing the mommy and baby bears. We had a nice lunch at the Lake Lodge and then headed over to Old Faithful about 3pm. After finding a parking spot (illegal) we sprinted to the geyser (because everyone else was) just in time to see it erupt! Great timing! We walked around a little and got some ice cream a the Old Faithful Lodge.
About 10 minutes after we got going again it started to rain, so we felt like we had been lucky with the timing for the whole day (although we never saw a moose!).On to Jackson, WY.
