Yellowstone National Park is such an amazing place! The first thing everyone thinks of is Old Faithful. This geyser is the most famous attraction here, and it is something to see, but there is so much more. So far we have only toured the west side of the park, and here the buffalo roam everywhere. Although wild, they are peaceful enough to stroll by and let you take a picture. The elk we saw were laying 35 feet off the road and posed for many stopping for pictures. Geothermal energy forms geysers, hot springs, steam vents, mud pots, and more entertain throughout the park. Hard to imagine that this is all due to the super volcano below, that has erupted in the past with the force of thousands of atomic bombs, and will again.
