The morning in Yellowstone was partly cloudy. The park doesn't have any shortage of geysers, fumaroles and mud pots. We have been to Lassen Volcanic Park before. But Lassen is no match to Yellowstone - after all it is a mega-volcano. We stopped to see Firehole Fall, Fountain Paint Pot and many other geysers. Some of them required short hike. Finally We could make our way to the most visited spot in the park - Old Faithful. The eruption started @1:41 P.M. By that time dark clouds started moving in.
After the eruption, one of park rangers explained the reason behind so much geothermal activity in the park. As thunder started rumbling we decided to call it a day.
The forecast suggests that thunderstorm is likely tomorrow as well. We may visit Grand Teton tomorrow to avoid encountering thunderstorm.
