| We took a side-road that ran along the Firehole River and past the Firehole Falls. |
It's cool how that outcropping sticks right out into the river without being eroded away in the current. Must be made of stronger stone than the surrounding hills. |
The falls themselves are much more spectacular in person. They throw up a lot of spray, and move really quickly. Much more impressive in motion. I did get some video of other motion-dependant features, but the video option on my cam is pretty sketchy. Still, I might upload them later for humor value if nothing else -- the comments my family members make when they don't know there's a microphone listening are comedy gold.
Note the burned areas behind the falls in this pic and the first one. |
