This is on a side loop from the main Yellowstone roads. It's pretty, but the story it shows is the true history of Yellowstone.
So many people drove through here and stopped to take pictures and they completely missed the story - because they didn't read the story! READ, folks, READ! We've seen people pull off of the highway at historical markers, look around and say, nothing to see here, then drive on. Hello! The story is in the marker! What? Can you not read?
The story is in the rocks, literally. I didn't see it until I read the interpretive signs the National Park was smart (and thoughtful) enough to put here. Do you see the red? That was slow moving lava flow.
See how it's smoother than the rocks around it. That's because it was once melted, but this was very thick and slow moving. More and more I feel as though I AM standing inside a volcano!
So cool.
