Just completed a 4 night stay at Yellowstone and I am completely blown away by the awesomeness of this place!
We are going next month. We are staying 2 nights at Canyon Lodge. We are so excited! What was your 'not to be missed' recommendations?Just completed a 4 night stay at Yellowstone and I am completely blown away by the awesomeness of this place!
I loved it when we went 15 years ago. Driving in we were stuck in a group of buffalo traveling on the road. Saw lots of wildlife and I could so end days looking at every steaming geyser, pool, river and little hoke that gurgled, hissed and puffed. It was all so fascinating and beautiful.

It's been years since we were there but the kids still talk about being stuck in a buffalo jam! It's an amazing place and I'm looking forward to getting back one day.I loved it when we went 15 years ago. Driving in we were stuck in a group of buffalo traveling on the road.

It's been a while, but I do recall seeing boards posted by some of the geysers with expected eruption times. When we stayed at Old Faithful Inn, I woke up early and recalled that Castle Geyser was due to erupt sometime soon so I moseyed on out for a walk. I was treated to a nearly private show:Not the OP, but definitely Old Faithful. You're probably going to see Yellowstone Falls in that area. The geysers are great, but it's kind of a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll see one of the bigger geysers erupt. There are some people who sit around with radios in chairs waiting for them to erupt. In my visit a decade ago we spent maybe a day in the Upper Geyser Basin and saw Old Faithful, Giant, Riverside, Grand, and Beehive erupt. It was really impressive because I have a photo of Giant, Riverside, and Grand erupting simultaneously. Giant was crazy too. It makes Old Faithful look like a garden hose compared to a fire hose. Giant also erupted for well over an hour. After a while I figure I'd seen enough and walked back to the lodge, and it was still going. There was a ranger leading a tour, and he didn't seem to notice until I said that Giant was erupting. He then told anyone in his group that he recommended just going there because it was a pretty rare occurrence.
Was it crowded? I'd love to go someday but I deal with enough crowds at that other place.

Before my digital camera. We were there in May and it was cool out so the steam was prevalent.
Cool pics anyway bcla! I guess I am putting this on the bucket list.
