the pics from today thread

Arrived in Yellowstone late yesterday afternoon. Staying at Mammoth Hotel near the north entrance. Later today getting a snow coach to Old Faithful hotel. Girls on this trip seem a little less adventurous then I am used to. The majority opted to go see the Mammoth Terraces, which have boardwalks around some thermal features. There is a short snowshoe from that location.

One girl and myself chose a longer snowshoe. We were the only ones on the trail and it was a beautiful morning. Saw lots of elk and have seen lots of buffalo from a safe distance. People are saying there have been a lot of wolf sightings this week so that would be cool.

Sitting in the lodge now since I had to check out of my room before the snowshoe. Wish I could take a nice hot shower because I sweated my ass off on the uphill snowshoe and now I am really cold!

I go on a lot of Bold Betties trips. Anyone (female) can go. But usually we are all the same level as far as fitness and wanting to push each other to do things. This group the ladies are a bit older. I’m just happy to be here. It’s very scenic.

Very empty. This is the last week the park hotels are open then they close till summer. Just got to the old Faithful Lodge. This place much nicer then Mammoth. The snow coaches were very cool, just purchased in 2016. She said it would take 2.5 hours to get here, it took 4.5. But it was like our own private tour of the park.

Cross country skied today. Forecast didn’t call for snow but it’s coming down hard here! Wanted some solitude so I chose to go out solo on a trail instead of with the other ladies.

All along the trail were geysers. Really something to see with the snow and steam. They all looked stunning.

I dont really get the appeal of the geyser stuff. Oh neat, steam.
volcanoes though...

Need to be there and see them to appreciate them. Nature is fucking wild. I couldn’t imagine how amazing it would be to xc ski through a national park like that. Jelly.

I always do a handful of XC days and I do log them. I have my own at home. These are rentals. I brought my snowshoes but wasn’t going through the hassle of bringing the skis. $18 for a half day rental....cheap!

The airport would have been a good place to finish the steamboat report 

Barely had enough time to smash a smash burger before boarding in the airport due to long checkin line and extra hour plus bus ride to Denver due to snow
