In this episode, we step into the heart of Yellowstone’s geothermal magic — starting with the legendary Old Faithful. ⏱️🌋
We explored the Upper Geyser Basin boardwalk, surrounded by... countless hot springs and geysers, and shared how these natural wonders work. Did you know? 🌎 Yellowstone is home to over 50% of the world’s geysers — making it the true geothermal capital of Earth.
The highlight of the day was the eruption of Old Faithful — a spectacular natural show that drew huge crowds. Watching the excitement and celebration of visitors from around the world was unforgettable. 🙌
Afterwards, we drove to Black Sand Basin to catch the sunset glow against the steaming pools — a surreal sight to end the park visit. 🌅🔥
In the evening, we headed into West Yellowstone town, checked in at Dude & Roundup Motel, and had a delicious dinner at El Oeste. 🌮 I tried their shrimp tacos (4 pieces for $16) — fresh, flavorful, and absolutely filling. Later, we enjoyed a light night walk around the charming streets of West Yellowstone before wrapping up the day. 🌙✨
👉 In the next episode, we shift from geysers to Yellowstone’s other side — valleys, waterfalls, mountains, and a full-day scenic drive. Don’t miss it!
