Wednesday morning we left our tent cabin in Grand Teton and headed north into Yellowstone National Park. We didn’t know what route we were going to take through the park. We didn’t know where we were going to spend the night. All we knew was that we wanted to see some active geothermal features, so we stopped at the West Thumb Visitor Center to get oriented. Turns out there were some hot springs nearby on Yellowstone Lake, so we picked up some maps and headed to the springs.
