Awesome! There are no other words to describe it. I think this has to be the best place I have visited in the US so far. The weather has been amazing for the whole four days in the park, beautiful blue skies with not a cloud in the sky and temperatures in the 70f during the day, just a little colder at night (well a lot actually but that is what jumpers are for). The National Park is truly amazing, a wonderland for nature lovers, for photographers, for geologists, for hikers and just anyone that wishes to witness such a vast area of varying topography and natural wonders. There are high mountains and vast valleys, lakes and rivers and waterfalls, steaming fumaroles, spouting geysers, bubbling mud pots and psychedelic springs, and even the grand canyon of Yellowstone. I have seen bison, individually, in herds and up close and personal next to the car, deer, elk, coyote, osprey, trumpeter swans and even a wolf. I have heard the earth grumble and roar, seen water spurted into the air over 50ft and steam even further, seen mud bubble and boil and blob out of the earth, so acidic it is melting the surrounded rock, seen amazing colours created by microscopic organisms living in water hotter than boiling point and smelt the smell of hell in numerous areas (hydrogen sulphide).
