I don’t recall going to the Norris Geyser Basin last time I was in Yellowstone. Sure, it’s another set of geysers in a park that has thousands of them, but this basin has a geyser called Steamboat that has such a large eruption that it sends water into the parking lot.
Steamboat goes off roughly every 8 days. It very well could’ve been its day because several cars were covered with tarps and people were camped out at the geyser viewing platform in chairs that they hauled up there. I’m pretty sure if the geyser that can strip paint from my car goes off, I do NOT want to be sitting 10 feet from it when it does. We didn’t stop to watch.
We drove along to find a nice spot for lunch. Sheepeater Cliffs are hexagonal basalt columns (like Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland but much, much smaller). Anna-Sophia enjoyed climbing around on the rocks for a while. Sometimes her agility surprises me.
