Day 19-
I woke up from a dream, cramped in the back of my van. Today was a day of exploration and discovery. It feels like each new day is actually. We reorganized the van in the morning from our search the day before.
I finally had cereal with the milk that Christina craved so much. I didn't have much of an appetite. I was exhausted and my body hurt. Christina drove today. I slept int he passenger seat.
We left our campsite at Indian Creek and began our day at Sheepeater Cliff. The water was beautiful. I loved the tiny blue butterflies that surrounded us.
As we headed to our next destination, we found a beautiful waterfall along the side of the road. We stopped to appreciate it. We continued to Canyon Village and explored the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We stopped in the Visitor Center. I learned why this place got its name. We hiked along the north rim and south rim of the canyon. We found a double rainbow at the base of the falls. I found a small tree to meditate next to at our Sublime Point. we relaxed, stretched, and did yoga at this Sublime Point overlooking the canyon.
Our next destination at Yellowstone was Norris. We wandered along all the paths and viewed all geysers, hot springs, vents, etc...
Today we saw Elk bucks? Moose?
Life is too much to describe. Trying my best to remember. Disconnected. Holiday weekend. Mind lost. Overload.
Day 20 -
Yellowstone National Park
1. Excelsior Geyser Crater - Enjoying the steam warmth
2. Grand Prismatic Spring - Full spectrum visible in the steam as well as the surface. I don't understand.
3. (Biscuit Basin - Biscuits are delicious)
Sapphire Pool - Deep well. Gorgeous blue. Clear water. Steam bath for our skin. Cooling breeze. Perfection.
4. Mystic Falls - Climbing. Drinking fresh water. Feeling hot springs. Pedicure on the rocks. Beauty surrounds. My most favorite place on this entire trip. Hiking the trail to Mystic Falls had the most beautiful smell of pine. I thought of you. I breathed in the air. Experiencing the present moment.
Thank you Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Spirit.
5. Old Faithful - Watching water boil... Waiting for the main event... Crowds of spectators.
6. Lake Lewis - Clear waters. Schools of fish. Volcanic stones.
Grand Teton National Park
Lake Jenny - We arrived in the evening. Our goal was to hike to Inspiration Point at Grand Teton and get back to our car before sunset... This was quite honestly, one of the scariest things I have ever done.
A coyote appeared before our trail with an animal in its mouth. It had yellow eyes. I didn't know what to do. I froze along the side of the trail as it ran past us. A man was running after it. I asked him, "Is that yours?"
I have a fear of natural bodies of water at night. I panicked as we approached Hidden Falls. I ran across bridges, terrified of trolls. We saw more wild life grazing. The view from the top was beautiful.(elevation: 6782 feet).
