Another long day, to Biscuit and Black Sands geyser basins (we finally made it to Black Sands, on our third try). More beautiful scenery, and lots of cool thermal features. At Black Sands, we also saw bald eagles, ravens and coyotes fighting over a caracas.
The end of the trip was marred a bit, when a tour group walked all over our ski tracks. When we caught up to them, I complained to their guide, who should know the rule about not walking in the tracks. He said he doesn't "unless it's necessary". No! If the snow's too deep to walk, either don't walk there, or put on some skis. I got his first name and company and told him I would write and complain.
Another nice dinner in the dinning room, a quick view of the stars on this frigid clear evening, followed by watching an episode of Orphan Black on my Kindle. I love that Yellowstone has no TVs and limited internet coverage. So peaceful and quiet.
