Days 10-15 - Camping Trip in Yellowstone Nat. Park and Jackson Lake (Grand Teton Nat. Park)
On day one of the camping trip we got up early to meet everyone else on the OARS trip to get on the bus. We got to Yellowstone and saw the West Thumb Geyser Basin which had lots of hot springs and mud pots. Then we saw the geyser Old Faithful, which was really cool to watch. We then walked to see the hot spring Grand Prismatic, but we couldn’t see it because of the steam. After a swim at our hotel pool we went to bed. Day 2 (also in Yellowstone) was like day 1. We saw Norris Geyser Basin and then saw Steamboat Geyser, the biggest in the world. It didn’t erupt, as it is extremely inconsistent. Then we went to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and saw the Lower Falls, the tallest waterfall in North America. Then we saw Dragon’s Mouth Spring and then went to our cabins. Day 3 we kayaked 7 miles in Jackson Lake, stopping once for lunch. We got to our first campsite at Grassy Island around 2:30 MT (4:30 ET) and set up tents. After dinner and dessert we went to bed. We kayaked to Bearpaw Bay on Day 4 and hiked before returning to Grassy island and camping again. Day 5 we kayaked to Spalding Bay and it was hard because there were big waves and we were going into the wind. After camping their we kayaked back to the boat ramp and drove to raft on the Snake River on Day 6, the final day. After rafting we drove to Driggs, Idaho to stay there for one night.
