Would like to see this blow! <grin> | More neat mineral deposits... | The entire time we were on the trail, this geyser about a mile away was blowing the whole time! About 1 1/2 hours of time... |

The ravens here are giant! (and expect you to feed them!) | At another location there is so much water coming out of the geysers, that there is a running stream of waterfalls into the creek nearby. | Giant pools about a block in size. |

Right by the road like the others.... | Then all of a sudden (about 1:30 p.m.) the sky turned dark and it started to rain.... | We decided to turn around and get out of Dodge before the continental divide passes got closed....just as it started to snow... |

Bob's CRV has 4 wheel drive and it was used.... we saw lots skids in the roadway on the way out. | We were one of the last cars out before they closed the pass... whew!!! | |
