Boiling River

this is where the water comes out of the mountain
close up view of above

where the hot water runs in a channel toward the river

one of the spots where it dumps into the river, and mixes with the cold

you can see where people have dammed up the water to make pools that hold the mixed water

Yes, I said boiling!!!! What a great way to end my "hell week" of training. I went last night and then again this afternoon. After a good soak, you don't have a care in the world. today, it was pretty crowded, since it was a Saturday, but there still was plenty of room.

This is one of 2 places in all of Yellowstone that you can go in the water.

I just love Hot Springs!!!!!

The trial in, is about 1/2 mile long. The walk in is cold, but the walk back, once you are well toasted up from your soak is surreal. Add into that, Bison on the trail and the scent of sage surrounding you, and you truly feel like you are in the heart of the West.

on to today's wildlife adventure.
