Barb Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Arrived in Yellowstone late yesterday afternoon. Staying at Mammoth Hotel near the north entrance. Later today getting a snow coach to Old Faithful hotel. Girls on this trip seem a little less adventurous then I am used to. The majority opted to go see the Mammoth Terraces, which have boardwalks around some thermal features. There is a short snowshoe from that location. One girl and myself chose a longer snowshoe. We were the only ones on the trail and it was a beautiful morning. Saw lots of elk and have seen lots of buffalo from a safe distance. People are saying there have been a lot of wolf sightings this week so that would be cool. Sitting in the lodge now since I had to check out of my room before the snowshoe. Wish I could take a nice hot shower because I sweated my ass off on the uphill snowshoe and now I am really cold!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 Quote

Where do you meet these unadventurous ladies?? I thought the chicks you hangout with are badass like the bikini girl with the horse head mask lol 1 Quote
Barb Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 I go on a lot of Bold Betties trips. Anyone (female) can go. But usually we are all the same level as far as fitness and wanting to push each other to do things. This group the ladies are a bit older. I’m just happy to be here. It’s very scenic.

tarponhead Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 How are the crowds? I know it’s been pretty cold there lately... Quote
Barb Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Very empty. This is the last week the park hotels are open then they close till summer. Just got to the old Faithful Lodge. This place much nicer then Mammoth. The snow coaches were very cool, just purchased in 2016. She said it would take 2.5 hours to get here, it took 4.5. But it was like our own private tour of the park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Barb Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Cross country skied today. Forecast didn’t call for snow but it’s coming down hard here! Wanted some solitude so I chose to go out solo on a trail instead of with the other ladies. All along the trail were geysers. Really something to see with the snow and steam. They all looked stunning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote
Shadows Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) I dont really get the appeal of the geyser stuff. Oh neat, steam. volcanoes though... Edited March 1, 2018 by Shadows Quote
Barb Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I didn’t in summer, but winter here is magic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
toast21602 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I dont really get the appeal of the geyser stuff. Oh neat, steam. volcanoes though...Need to be there and see them to appreciate them. Nature is fucking wild. I couldn’t imagine how amazing it would be to xc ski through a national park like that. Jelly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Barb I didn't know you cross country skied. Are they your own or rentals? You can count that as a ski day in the stats!! Quote
Barb Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I always do a handful of XC days and I do log them. I have my own at home. These are rentals. I brought my snowshoes but wasn’t going through the hassle of bringing the skis. $18 for a half day rental....cheap!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
