Pittsburgh MCG - Eve - Day 2

Today we got up bright and early and set off to go look at all the thermal features in the park. As we were driving down one of the roads we were lucky enough to see a bison, and got to take some awesome up close pictures of him/her. Then we headed off to go see Roaring Mountain and learned our first lesson on thermal features. Soon we got to Old Faithful. While waiting for the geyser to go off each of us had to find a person to interview. Luckily I found a nice man named Michael, and my interview project was over quickly. When we finally saw Old Faithful go off, it was slightly underwhelming. Old Faithful is one of the main attractions of Yellowstone and thus, there are a lot of tourists. I felt like the experience was almost taken away, because of all the people. It is an amazing natural phenomenon and I can only imagine how awe inspiring it was to see the geyser go off in the eyes of the first explorers.
