Old Faithful

After the long drive to West Yellowstone we immediately started visiting the geysers basins and the grand prismatic spring. The weather was incredible! Bright blue sky, lots of sunshine and 83 degrees! We visited as much as we could but suddenly a small herd of bisons passed by and came from the prairie unto the road, so all the cars had to stop. It started getting dark so we didn't have time to visit Old Faithful, the geyser that erupts every 68-78 minutes since decades. It was still about an hour drive along the winding Loop Road towards the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. It was pitch dark and then suddenly we saw a giant Elk on the edge of the forest, near the road, it's right eye lit up by the headlights. That gave us a small fright, but we arrived safely at the hotel and checked in. Once more we were dead tired, had a quick shower to visit the rest of Yellowstone the next Day
