In this episode of Valleys of the Wild, we begin our journey from Gardiner and head out on a... beautiful scenic drive to Tower Fall. 🏞️
We hiked down toward the Yellowstone River, touched its cold flowing waters, and enjoyed a peaceful moment surrounded by the park’s raw beauty. From there, we continued the scenic road up to Mt. Washburn, one of the tallest peaks in Yellowstone, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. 🌄
On our way back, we were surprised to come across the striking rock formations of the Devil’s Den, before stopping at the dramatic Calcite Springs Overlook, where steaming vents and the Yellowstone River canyon create an unforgettable sight. Finally, we wrapped up the day near Lava Creek, reflecting on the volcanic forces that shaped this land. 🌋
✨ Next episode → We’ll explore the famous Mammoth Hot Springs, a place unlike any other in Yellowstone, with its colorful terraces and historic surroundings.
