CLEANING DAY AND THE BOILING RIVER

Tuesday

Today was spent doing laundry and repacking the car. Matt also had a lot of things to take care of.

By late afternoon we were ready for some more hot springs. So we piled into the Jetta and drove an hour east to the North Yellowstone entrance where the Mammoth Hot Springs are. Near these famous springs is this place called the Boiling River. You have to hike into this special spot where the water from the hot springs flows like a small river into the cold Gardener River. The surrounding rocks have created a cradle for the water to mix and provides people with a delightful water temperature to soak in. As the sun set behind the mountains we sat calmly in the water and watched the light change. After an hour or so we got back in the car and returned to Bozeman. It was around 11pm when we finally got back to the house. Though we were tired we were also very hungry. So we made a quick pizza and then crashed.
