Day 17: Geothermals and Rest

Today we spent the morning traveling around looking at the geothermal features of the. Midway geyser basin. These included Red Spouter and the famous Grand Prismatic.

In the afternoon, we went back to Old Faithful to take showers. It is amazing how much of a difference a good shower can make in your day, especially when you haven't had one for several days. We then had the remainder of the afternoon free to wander about the Old Faithful resort area. I treated myself to an ice cream and people-watched for most of the time, while my inner introvert rejoiced at the opportunity for some time alone.

In early evening we returned to camp, where my crew cooked dinner and then we relaxed and told ghost stories around the campfire to finish off our excursion in Yellowstone.
