Pittsburgh MCG - Claire - Day 4

We hiked to the top of Bunsen peak today.  The whole trip took us 4 hours and 26 minutes, the fastest time of any Park Journeys group that has hiked it before! The climb was difficult, but not impossible.  When we reached the top, we enjoyed the incredible view for about 45 minutes while eating lunch and taking pictures.  Before we began our descent, Michelle gave us each a green carabineer with a Bunsen Peak benchmark medallion attached.  This gift is going to remind me of our impressive accomplishment and of this amazing experience for the rest of my life.  When we got back to the bus, we made our way over to the Mammoth Hot Springs, yet another amazing site to see.  After spending some time there, we left to go to a gift shop to buy things to take home.  I am sad that our trip is almost over, but I am very happy about the many valuable lessons that I have learned while here in Yellowstone.
