We woke up at a decent hour on Saturday, packed up and hit the road. It's a couple miles of washboard from Eagle Creek down to Gardiner-


Another beautiful day! Looking south across the Yellowstone River into Yellowstone National Park-

We're back in Yellowstone National Park-




Mammoth Hot Springs!


Mammoth Hot Springs Yellowstone General Store-

We began our hike from the boardwalk that begins near the Liberty Cap-

This boardwalk just keeps going and going! It's a couple miles to the Upper Terrace Loop, but it was getting hot and we weren't in the mood to walk that far.




Kristhawee spotted some wild snap dragons- one of his favorite flowers


Back to the bike and ready to continue exploring Yellowstone National Park-
