We drove back to the Old Faithful part of Yellowstone because we didn’t see the thermal area behind Old Faithful a couple of days before and it was on the way out of the park going to Grand Teton . There are many geysers in this area. A few erupt every day and some sporadically, but they are not as predictable as Old Faithful . One we saw was Lion, it didn’t go as high but it lasted longer. Then we saw Bee Hive -- it was fantastic, it was much higher than Old Faithful and lasted about 5 minutes. Old Faithful lasts about 1 minute. Jim said he thought when he was here 45 years ago that Old Faithful was much higher. Then we drove on to Grand Teton National Park . The road passes through John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway after it leaves Yellowstone and before Grand Teton . Rockefeller donated some of the land for the parks. After we unhooked at the Coulter Bay campground (again no hookups, the hookup area was $55.00 per night versus the $9.00 we paid), we drove some of the park. It was getting late and the sun was going down behind the Grand Tetons.
