Old Faithful

My first day off was Tuesday and a group of us were able to get together finally for a hike. We hiked up to Mallard Lake, which was about 6 miles there and back. The snow was deep and wet in some parts, which made it seem longer and more strenuous. Up in the woods the snow was beautiful. We were the only people that had been up there so far this season, so all the snow was perfectly untouched. The weather was great, and I even managed to get my first sunburn even after wearing sunblock and a hat. 








After the hike we walked around the old faithful area to check out all of the thermal features .The colors of some of the features were amazing. We were able to watch old faithful go off, as well as some of the other smaller geysers.
