We rented an all-wheel drive Rav4. We're gonna hit the road
we're at the gas station filling up before we hit the road
we are now entering yellowstone here's the entrance we're at the
entrance of yellowstone
we are on moose creek trail there's apparently a waterfall can you
hear it
look at this waterfall
look how steep this is!
crossing the river...
where are ya? we just made it to this lake
here in yellowstone look at this pristine water
lewis lake
okay so we are in yellowstone national park and i'm just whispering
because there's a lot of wildlife and it smells
like pine it looks like we have been
transported into a Bob Ross painting surrounded by happy little
trees, pristine lakes...
it is insane here i'm walking through this hiking trail and
listen to how quiet it is here you can hear all the leaves rustling all
the birds and there's light filtering through in
here and it is just magical look at all these beautiful
campgrounds here you can bring a picnic we're
heading back into the car because we have
much more to see this park is massive it's about three and a half hours end to
end
tell us what happened we just crossed the continental divide
that's why it was so rocky that's right so rocky
we're about 8,000 feet high yeah i kind of felt like i was out of breath
but also because it was breathtaking! we've reached the continental divide
elevation 8,391ft. we have reached the continental divide
it's about noon we've been driving for most of the day and
up next are the old faithful and all of the thermal features
we have just reached the Old Faithful geyser area
it erupts about every 90 minutes and the ranger just said that it's going to
erupt in about an hour they have the geyser predictions right
here that's really cool
look at this spectacular visitor center so this boardwalk is made out of 6,000
recycled water bottles and then here
you can see it's steaming it's getting ready to blow
so this is very hazardous thermal ground area so we've got to stay on the trail
look at this you can see the different colors coming through
bright orange and you can catch a whiff of the smell too it smells like rotten
eggs. you can see all the people lined up to
watch Old Faithful. It's pretty crowded here this fourth of july
weekend a lot of tourists from all over the USA.
They made a seesaw - that's so cute. so we're walking around the perimeter of
the geothermal area just to pass the time.
it's supposed to go off in about 45 minutes.
there you can see it's steaming behind me. this is the fourth park we've been to
that has geothermal activity: we've been to lassen, iceland,
and rotorua.
yeah so here we are we're just walking around the perimeter.
we've seen all kinds of blue birds red birds they also have bald eagles.
here you can see parts of the ground bubbling.
like a cauldron. well hello there!
look at all this steam!
look at that look at the power looks like there's a firehose under the ground.
look at this the steam rising behind us it's like we're in a music video!
look at these giant holes, crevices. imagine getting stuck in there!
jacuzzi
just look at these colors.
looks like the earth is rusting out. look at this pump geyser. it's
powerful.
all these geysers are just erupting at random.
look at these colors - it's like neon orange.
we've made it to this area here where it's glowing
orange. look at this
it's called "beach spring".
it's crazy how these landscapes change so quickly.
they turn from meadows to these giant plains to forest. look at this one here
this pool you can really see the depth in there.
just going straight down water going straight
down.
it almost looks like it goes all the way down to the core of the earth.
boil in trouble it's just crazy being this close to something that will
literally incinerate you in seconds!
we're headed up the hill to this watch tower called observation point where you
can watch Old Faithful and we're just gonna wait
until it blows off. wow can you hear that it's about 80
degrees now. we're here on fourth of july weekend.
kind of wish i brought shorts at this
point.
Yellowstone! Old Faithful! Old Faithful - we are waiting for Old Faithful to explode.
Every 90 minutes. oh right so i'm almost at the top of
observation point here at yellowstone and look at this
view. you can see all the people lined up right there
to watch Old Faithful.l i'm getting a bird's-eye view of
Old Faithful. it's supposed to go off any minute now.
oh they're counting down!
ignition sequence stat... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
oh my god this is so cool look at this smoke!
this is insane it looks like a rocket going off.
looks like she's cooling down now you never know/\...
oh
it was cool it was so cool like i could see everything.
as tall as the buildings yeah how was it from up there.
so right here we have the red paintbrush and we have
so many beautiful purple flowers in the distance.
oh bear tracks
