Some signs we have seen....
The Old Roosevelt Arch at the North Entrance.
Official iconic Yellowstone sign.
Ok... we are getting the warning about bears. On the plane a guy we chatted to said 'you are going to be eaten by a bear' when I said we were going to do a couple of hikes in the park!
An interesting statistic!
Near the north entrance
On the opposite side of the one above...
These are everwhere. Note the pic of the kid falling into the hot ground. Apparently in many areas the ground is like a crust with scalding water just under the surface. There are many places you can see where it has cracked through... and it would NOT be nice. Most boardwalks have no railing so this is about managing your kids.
These rocks were just like at the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. The sign says it all about the original inhabitants.
Clearly she can't read!! This is where I took the pic of the boiling ground in our Day 1 blog post.
Note the temperature on our dash. It eventually got to 0F!! = freakin' cold!! Do your maths to work out the celsius equivalent....
Another bear warning...
We spotted this as we headed out for a short hike at Mt Washburn. I got quickly scared and managed about 100m before doing alot of hand clapping and chanting inane words to ward off any marauding bears who might be nearby with ideas of eating me to fatten up for hibernation.
At the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. After seeing this sign we headed back to the car, and noted there were quite fresh tracks in the dirt next to the path as well as very large poops on the ground in the carpark.
Another interesting statistic...
