Jones' Summer Trip 2012 Part VI

We dedicated an entire day to geysers and hot springs.  Old Faithful did not dissapoint us! We waited for a long time, but it was totally worth it!  I was even more excited about the beautiful clouds in the sky and the sun hit the water just right. It was perfect!!! :D 




I loved this spring on the right.  Hannah and I were standing there and felt the ground shake! We got excited because it felt like an earthquake, then all of a sudden the water started boiling and bubbling!  We described it like the earth just pooted under the water! :D Hahah!


We were lucky enough to get a room at the historic Old Faithful Inn!  It was beautiful!  I really liked watching Old Faithful one last time on the porch. It was cold, but watching the steamy geyser was fun!


I think we had ice cream every day of our trip! :D









Steamboat Geyser didn't go off for us, but there were some cool sprays!



Hannah really liked the mud pots. They were very stinky! 


I was very excited to see Grand Prismatic Spring! It's colors are amazing! To get a good view of the gigantic spring, we climbed up the side of a nearby mountain...Emily in flip flops.  Girls Rule and boys drool!!!! 




Hannah and I went on a short 1.5 mile hike to see Morning Glory pool.  It was totally worth the hike and we also saw some other cool springs like Punchbowl spring.
