lauren + possiblility of seeing bears in the backcountry = huge scardy cat

So we spent two days and two nights in Yellowstone NP. The first day was kinda stressful because we were hungry and tired and also because of the park's size and reputation. We drove forever before we go to a visitor center and figured ou what campsites weren't closed for the season.
We spent the first night primitive camping. Nice campfire. Nice stars. Nice dinner of ramen and vegetables from aunt anne's garden.
The next day we felt a lot better (and caffeinated) and were ready to experience the park: epic waterfalls, smelly sulfur pots, geysers (including old faithful, which is not very exciting except for how consistent its eruptions are), hot springs, fumaroles and even a mud pot! FYI Yellowstone is situated on one of the worlds largest active volcanoes.
The second day we went to the backcountry office for a back country camping permit...it's free and way more rewarding any ways. Here's why...we saw a FREAKIN ADULT BALD EAGLE!!!!

These beautiful hot springs were all over!



Old faithful spewing

It smelled like rotten eggies!



Mudpots!
