Morning Glory PoolWed, 7/16/08
Yellowstone NP, WY: Drove back to Old Faithful this morning because we wanted to see the morning glory pool—probably the one most photographed. We parked at the upper lot and started down the trail. Passed some really pretty pools plus a beautiful geyser—the Artemesian, although we didn’t see it go off. We finally came to morning glory. It was pretty disappointing since it has lost some of its color and has algae growing in it…. thanks to ignorant people throwing stuff in the pool. Saw the remains of a couple of bison right there on the trail. Walked back to the parking lot. A really pretty and warm day. Decided to have lunch at the Old Faithful Inn dining room. Had a great lunch and then went upstairs to the upper porch and watched Old Faithful go off again. Then started the drive back. Stopped at a place on Yellowstone Lake that has a sandbar across this little bay and we walked around there for a while. Back to the campground and something cold to drink. Guess we’ll just snack since we’re both too full from lunch.
