I spent a lot of time in the car today. I packed up my hotel room in West Yellowstone this morning and hit the road for Jackson, Wyoming. The highlight of the day was visiting the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

Wyoming 2021: Day 5
I got soaked by a geyser this morning! The experience was worth every second of the two hours I waited to watch Great Fountain Geyser erupt. And just like seeing the bear, I couldn’t stop smiling afterwards. You’ll have to keep reading to find out how it happened (no, it wasn’t planned!).
Wyoming 2021: Day 4
Geysers galore! I spent the day wandering around the thermal areas of Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin today. To be honest, I’m a little geyser-ed out at this point. Read on to hear about the highlights!
Wyoming 2021: Day 3
I saw a bear. End of story.
Just kidding. But I really did see a bear today. It was relatively close to me and super exciting as I was the first to see it and got to point it out to other people. More on that later.
Wyoming 2021: Day 2
The last time I was in Yellowstone National Park was 15 years ago. On that trip, I had detailed lists of everything I wanted to see and do and what time of day to go to each location for the best lighting. By contrast, on this trip I have only a vague idea of which direction I want to head each day and am leaving the rest up to whatever I feel like doing at the time. Spontaneity isn’t usually my style, but I’m learning to embrace it!
Wyoming 2021: Day 1
Today I flew two-thirds of the way across the country, crossed the Continental Divide three times, admired deep turquoise and emerald geothermal pools, and watched a couple of small geysers erupt. Yes, it was a great start to the next week and a half in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks… but I am exhausted, so this first blog post will be short and sweet!
