We spent the day.. yes, like the whole day walking on the walkways around Old Faithful. There were literally hundreds of geysers along the way and they would randomly erupt. It was exciting for everybody, young and old. We also checked out a few colorful pools and the boys were rather intrigued by them.
One of the bigger geysers that we managed to catch that day was Daisy Geyser. I remember this geyser from our last visit. After that, we went to check out the Old Faithful Lodge to look for some late lunch and some respite from the rain.
Strangely enough I've never been to the lodge and it was the coolest building ever!! Old and quirky! And beautifully maintained. Unfortunately we were not able to get into the main restaurant, but managed to eat at the bar area.
After our super late lunch, we headed to Middle Geyser Basin to check out The Grand Prismatic Pool which is my favorite spot. However, because it was a cold day, the beauty of this place was covered in mist. :(
We headed home after that because everybody was feeling quite miserable from the rain!! However the rain didn't stop even when we got back to the campsite and so we had to eat in the tent!! That night we had noodles and spam and spinach! Yummy!!
