Gibbon Falls

 (Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Betsy and I so enjoyed our first trip out west in 2011 that we took another trip in 2012.  This time our ultimate destination was Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

Back then we both could still hike, and we; were still actively seeking waterfalls to add to our ‘collection’.  We were delighted to discover that Yellowstone contained several waterfalls.  And the nice thing was that the first waterfall we visited required very little hiking.  Gibbons Falls was practically along the side of the road and we happily added it to out collection of visited waterfalls.

 

 

 

 

 

Beehive Geyser

Betsy and I were fortunate enough to see the eruption of several geysers while visiting Yellowstone, including four different eruptions of Old Faithful.  One of the first eruptions we saw was this display by  Beehive Geyser.  We both thought the plume was gorgeous against that brilliant blue sky.
