Photos from Yellowstone - Boiling River

Trailhead...



The actual "Boiling River". Water is 200+ degrees. This empties into the Gardner River, and that's where you swim.


Boiling water hitting the river...


Best hot tub in the world. Kill's the "lobster pot" at Mammoth, CA. All of the water coming off the rocks on the left is HOT. This place is a MUST for anyone visiting the park.




Elk are everywhere in the park...



Flying (literally) on our way to GLACIER!


Glacier in the distance...
