Yellowstone trip day 6: Norris Geyser Basin

· exploring · national park · Yellowstone

On day six of our Yellowstone trip, the third full day in the park, we explored the Norris Geyser Basin.

An unintentionally memorable hike, as Jenn tripped on a root and knocked me over, gashing my knee. It looked worse than it was, though; I was able to continue without too much difficulty.

The Steamboat Geyser; apparently it hasn’t gone off for months, so we were excited to see it erupting; it continued for the entire time we were there:

Jenn's father was excited to see it erupting, since it hadn’t all the many previous times he’d visited the park over the years:
