We stayed in the town of Bozeman Mt about an hour and a half away from Yellowstone National park. We went to Yellowstone and saw old faithful . Several of the roads were closed so it made our drive even longer , but it was totally worth it.
It was quite the site seeing  the herds of wild  buffalo. One of them even crossed the road right in front of our car taking his own sweet time .  

We also were lucky to see Elk .  Each herd of elk has one buck and we were about 30 feet away from him. The buck almost rammed his antlers into a car.  We were told by an overly talkative park ranger  that the day before he did ram into a car.

The hot springs were unreal. We could not believe how the steam and bubbles rose from the earth.  The air surrounding the hot spring was so warm. It felt like you had just stepped out of a long hot shower into a room full of mist. All the while mixed with the cool breeze that would mysteriously swoop and swirl the steam around you, sending a shiver down your spin, both from the shift in temperature and the wonderment and grandeur surrounding you.  The water in the hot springs was a vibrant turquoise.
