The unique nature of Yellowstone National Park Billy and Sandra Paterson, South Africa from the town of Laurel, Montana, we quickly drove to Yellowstone National Park. At the park we will get through the north-east entrance, is one of the three entrances that are open at this time of year, it is also the closest to the tent camp where we decided to stop. The weather during our move was good, the sky was clear, though, blew pretty strong wind. Upon arrival, the first thing we decided to find a place for tents, and break it up. Tent city called "Mammoth". Everything was wonderful: camping places were not made very close to each other, and the toilet was clean and heated. Soul in the town was not, but he was in a nearby hotel, and there could go, but the hotel was open, because tourist season is just beginning. So, alas, the nearest shower was more than five miles away, in the store, who concurrently was also a laundry service, and a gallery of slot machines. Bisons on the road remainder of the day we spent scouting the road to the north-eastern entrance to the park. We read somewhere that this way you can meet wild animals, and our dream is, fortunately, came true. We saw buffalo, deer, several badgers, pronghorn antelope and black-tailed deer. But most of us were surprised how many there were bison, literally hundreds of individuals. And yet we are amazed the sheer size of the park. The road from the tent camp to the north-east entrance stretched for 50 miles (80 km), and the park has a length of about 100 miles (160 km) from north to south. We also walked around the hot springs of Mammoth Hot Springs. This zone of increased geothermal activity and hot springs and pools look very nice. Personally, I think that they are not as spectacular as the geysers in Rotorua (city in New Zealand, one of the most famous geothermal spas in the world, approx. Perevi.), But it was interesting to learn that Yellowstone contains 60% of all the geysers in the world. In the evening we made a fire and cook dinner. Food always tastes better if it is to cook on the fire, which also fired up. We went into the tent quite early and were pleasantly surprised that it was not as cold as we expected, so the night passed in a comfortable environment. Hot Springs in the next few days we explored the park. On the second day we headed south toward the geyser Old Feysful. This must be the most popular place among tourists, fortunately, there was nemnogolyudno during our visit. Old Feysful - one of the most famous geysers in the world. It erupts about every 90 minutes. We decided to stay and watch the eruption, and in its natural form, in contrast to the geysers in New Zealand, where the ministers of the park throwing soap to heighten the effect. Eruption itself - quite an impressive sight, I am glad that we managed to see it. The area around the source of Old Feysful replete with geysers, lakes, hot water, fumaroles, etc. (fumarole - a source of hot gas, approx. Perevi.) Balance of the day we spent in the Valley of Geysers.
