  • Yellowstone National Park to See What We Could See
    Earl’s Diary - Wednesday - May 5, 2013 Dear Loyal Readers; !This is the day we were going back to Yellowstone National Park to see what we could see. In my last report I mentioned we were staying at an RV park in Victor, Idaho. It was 102 miles back to Yellowstone where we were going to catch our tour bus. !Michele and I left Victor at 6:00am to make the bus in time at 9:15. (6:00am, Egads! That’s early!!!!) Since this is my first visit to Yellowstone, I really wanted to see all the (hot) spots in the park. !We arrived in plenty of time and were eager to climb aboard with the twenty-six other site-seers. This was to be a nine or ten hour trip around the lower loop of the park. (The main park road is like a figure 8.) We were scheduled to see most of the really BIG attractions. !Our driver/guide was Lucas. He announced he was from Georgia. I noticed a distinct non-southern accent and asked about it. He said his family moved to Georgia when he was 12, hence, no southern accent. He was 28 years old and this was his third year at Yellowstone. He was very conversant and made a good guide. His college degree in geology helped in explaining some of the geological features of the park. Our first stop was at Lake Lodge, one of the very earliest “luxury” lodges in the park. It has a beautiful view of Yellowstone Lake. Yellowstone Lake is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S.

Several of the more prominent geysers and hot springs are included on this tour with information concerning their eruption patterns, names, and relationships with other geothermal features. Upper Geyser Basin - South Section: Old Faithful Geyser Old Faithful erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers, although it is not the largest or most regular geyser in the park. Its average interval between eruptions is about 91 minutes, varying from 65 - 92 minutes. An eruption lasts 1 1/2 to 5 minutes, expels 3,700 - 8,400 gallons (14,000 - 32,000 liters) of boiling water, and reaches heights of 106 - 184 feet (30 - 55m). It was named for its consistent performance by members of the Washburn Expedition in 1870. Although its average interval has lengthened through the years (due to earthquakes and vandalism), Old Faithful is still as spectacular and predictable as it was a century ago. The largest active geyser in the world is Steamboat Geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin. Giantess Geyser Infrequent but violent eruptions characterize Giantess Geyser.
