Biking to our first Geyser & the Canyon

On Sunday, we put six bikes in the car somehow, and took them to the Lone Star Geyser. After taking pictures of the waterfall near the trail head, we rode off for the 2.4 mile ride to the geyser. The ride, along an abandoned freight road was gorgeous. Once at the geyser, we found folks who had been waiting 3 hours for it to go off, which it did within 15 minutes of our arrival. The 10 or so people who were there were much preferred over the hundreds we knew we would find at Old Faithful. The geyser was really cool, and we were glad for the 5 mile bike ride to work out the kinks from the 9 mile hike the day before.

We also stopped at a few more hydrothermal features on the way home, were we found more Bison in on and around the trails. We also went by Yellowstone Lake, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, with the spectacular Lower Falls. Tomorrow, Old Faithful!
