Yellowstone Geysers

August 18-21, 2007.

We are staying in Grizzly RV-Park in West Yellowstone, Montana just out the west gate of Yellowstone National Park. We had reservations this time for a back in FHU backin site for $37. Grizzly is a nice park, the nicest campground in the area. Bottom line is if you are planning to visit WEST YELLOWSTONE during July thru Aug-15 you need a reservation as every campground in the area is FULL. After August 15 you can have your choice of campgrounds with no reservations. While Grizzly RV-Park is definitely the "BEST" RV-Park in West Yellowstone it is also the most expensive. If you are looking for great Campground with great views there is a MUCH cheaper PPA PassPort America Campground a few miles west of town.

Our son and grandson are spending the week with us touring Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Come join us for some fun.

When we arrived at White Dome Geyser with its massive cone that erupts every 12 to 24 minutes we decided to stop and wait for it to erupt.

As it turned out it was nearly 24-minutes before it went off. That is Joyce, Jeff and Stephen patiently waiting for the show.

And this is what we waited for. Just before we gave up the White Dome Geyser erupted with a jet of water that turned to steam and spray. Actually, it erupted like this for several minutes.
