Thermophiles are cool!!!
We went to a really cool ranger talk about thermophiles (those creatures that love the heat of the hot springs and create all of the different colors, you can actually get an idea of how hot the water is by the color of them. Blue is hotter than orange.) We also learned about the plants and how inorder to live near the hot springs they actually are infected with a fungus, and a virus that helps them tolerate the heat. 
I have never seen a place to recycle small propane cylinders. I have always wished I could, but this is the first place I have actually been able to. I wish it was more common.
I didn't want to share my camera so I bought sai a couple of disposable cameras. Here she is taking a picture as Old Faithful is erupting in the background.

I am always amazed at the range of colors one can see in the Park.
Luckyly I live close enough to do one day trips a couple of times a year.
