The Adventuring Heidi

October 3, 2022 The final full day in Yellowstone arrived as we crawled out of the rain soaked tent that was thankfully still keeping us perfectly dry inside despite being solidly drenched for four nights. It seemed like the precipitation was holding off, so we quickly packed up the wet tent as best as we… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 4 – Norris Geyser Basin, Mount Washburn, Mud Volcano, & Yellowstone Lake

I was happy after days of record high temperatures the weather had turned more seasonal, and I… Continue reading Caldera Tales – Day 6: Mud Volcano & Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

Caldera Tales – Day 5: Lone Star Geyser, West Thumb Geyser Basin, and Yellowstone Lake

The Adventuring Heidi

September 10, 2021 Time to pack up and move to another spot! After three nights at Madison, I was looking forward to new scenes and rejuvenating my energy for the rest of my eight day trip. I'd be heading south for a one night stay at Grant Village before heading up back north for a… Continue reading Caldera Tales – Day 5: Lone Star Geyser, West Thumb Geyser Basin, and Yellowstone Lake
