Section 921 Small flowers and grass on the side of the road

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu hurriedly slowed down the car to observe them, but because they didn't have a telescope or a telephoto lens, they couldn't see it clearly, so they could only continue to drive forward. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After driving a small slope, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu put a large plain in front of them, and the plains were dotted with bison! It is conservatively estimated that there are thousands of these bison, and they come in groups of three or five, with one or two calves in each small herd, which looks like a family activity.

Driving further, I slowly saw a lot of cattle that were very close to the road, and their appearance also made the traffic in front of them slowly blocked, and all the tourists rolled down the windows to watch them graze and walk, and they saw that the car was very polite to them and began to cross the road slowly and leisurely, making the car completely impassable.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also had the opportunity to observe these bison up close, their heads were quite large, with two small sharp horns on their heads, and their eyes revealed to be honest and bulky.

Some of them are dark brown and some are light brown, their hair is concentrated in the front half of their body, they move slowly, and their expressions are wooden. Yunluo's first large-scale encounter with large wild animals was both exciting and a little intimidating. Their nearest car was only one meter away from Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's car, and if they wanted to attack, they could easily crash Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's car.

I've heard that there have been accidents where bison have attacked people before, but the probability is extremely low, as long as you don't deliberately provoke them, they should be fine. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu cautiously drove forward, absolutely not ↗, ww↓w. and bison grabbed the road, and slowly drove out of the road where the bison were full of herds. Observing wildlife up close is particularly enjoyable for Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, as if they have completed another tour mission in Yellowstone.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu were lucky today and didn't encounter rain. The dark clouds on the horizon have been wandering around Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, but they have always passed by Yunluo and Yan Shenyu.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can clearly see that the rain is pouring under the black clouds in the distance, but the wind and sun are still beautiful above Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's heads, and there is a pleasure of wanting to fall into the well. After the tour ends today, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu will go to the campsite to check in.

Campgrounds in Yellowstone are not the same as those in Grand Teton on a first-come, first-served basis. Book more than a month in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to find a spot. The camp in Yunluoding is called canyonvillage, which is also a relatively large and well-equipped camping area in Yellowstone. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to the service center to buy firewood and prepare to take it back to make a fire, and Yunluo went to pick a lot of dead branches.

The two-night camping experience at Grand Teton made Yunluo and Yan Shenyu familiar with the layout of the new camp, and quickly sorted out a "bedroom". But Yunluo and Yan Shenyu weren't in the mood for barbecue today, and were going to go to the restaurant in the visitor center to see what was delicious. So he put all the firewood in the stove and drove away.

There are many dining options at this service center, you can go to the supermarket to buy snacks, you can go to the food court to choose a variety of steaming meals, and of course, you can also go to the more upscale western restaurant next door. The western restaurant was overcrowded, and they had to queue for thirty minutes, and the price was not cheap, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went directly to the food area.

There are a variety of dishes in the food court, and you can choose what you want to eat and then go to the front desk to pay the bill, which is a bit like a big cafeteria in China. There are not only many Chinese tourists in this food area. Even the waiters who serve your meals are Chinese (I heard that they are international students who come to work while traveling during the summer vacation), and they have turned the white people in the "canteen" into a minority.

However, Yunluo thinks that the food here is not bad, the price is also very reasonable, and it is very comfortable to eat. When I returned to the camp after dinner, there was a very tragic scene: just now when Yunluo and Yan Shenyu left, there was a heavy rain in the camp, and all the firewood in Yunluo was soaked, and the plan for the campfire at night was soaked.

The dark night when the dark clouds receded was still starry, but Yunluo had to say that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu were a little aesthetically tired.

The temperature in Huangshi was still cold in the middle of the night, but Yunluo and Yan Shenyu seemed to be used to such temperatures. I slept pretty well. Last night's heavy rain did not stain the tent with moisture, which shows that the material of the tent is more consistent with what it advertised.

There is no dark cloud in the sky of Yellowstone today. The fresh air makes the woods around the camp look particularly refreshing and beautiful. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu packed up their tents, took a hot shower at the service center, and went to the restaurant for breakfast, and then started the last day of the tour of Yellowstone.

Norris Geyser didn't go to it yesterday because of the crowds, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu planned to go to this place this morning. When I arrived at the parking lot, I found that it was really hot, and I was already queuing up to find a parking space at 10 o'clock in the morning. The Norris Geyser area is actually a basin. There are many geysers of different shapes and forms.

Yunluo believes that there are two biggest attractions in this geyser area, one is the density of hot springs, and the other is the variety of colors.

Since these geysers move along with the earth's crust, there is no precise number of them, but there are an introduction to the geysers at intervals along the three-mile walkway. If you read them one by one, I'm afraid one day will not be enough.

The multicolored colors are another spectacular part of the Norris Geyser area, where a variety of bacteria and microorganisms show different colors at different temperatures and pH levels, and it looks like someone has accidentally spilled a lot of paint here.

The porcelain basin is one of the most open and spectacular basins in the entire geyser area, probably because the surface of the basin is somewhat enamel-like. The basin also smells sulphurous, but the visual impact of the colors more than counteracts the complaints of the nose.

Behind the porcelain basin there is a large area of geysers hidden in the woods, which are also of various shapes and spread around the boardwalk about two miles long. The Norris Geyser area is another representative attraction in Yellowstone Park, which is not a short distance but has a lot of flavor and "taste" after seeing it.

In fact, after watching Norris, the main attractions of Yellowstone have been seen, and the only things left are Yellowstone Canyon and Yellowstone Lake. After seeing so many canyons along the way, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu actually didn't have much interest in the canyons, but since they came, they always had to "visit here".

Yellowstone Lake is primarily a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, many people bring yachts or canoes to swim in the lake, but it is not so attractive to Yunluo and Yan Shenyu. And Yellowstone Lake is also a volcanic crater. Playing in the water inside the crater also sounds a little creepy.

Both of these places are in the southeast of Yellowstone, which is the lower right of the figure 8, and it doesn't take more than a few hours to walk around, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu decided to go for a walk.

Yellowstone Canyon is mainly about a waterfall. This waterfall rushes down from between the two mountains, and the sheer volume of water and the steep valleys on either side make it particularly magnificent.

What impressed Yunluo the most was not the waterfall itself, but the color of the bare mountains on both sides of the river and the flowing river water, which were too similar to Huaguo landscape paintings. It seems that any picture in the viewfinder of the camera can be taken out and inscribed with a few words and stamped with a red seal.

Many visitors only enjoy the full view of the canyon from the parking lot at the top of the canyon, but there is a path that leads to the canyon halfway up the mountain, and it is better to see the waterfall from that angle. The canyon is steep, and the trails in the canyon are even more winding.

Walk carefully for half an hour to reach the observation deck halfway up the mountain, where the basic mountain can be leveled with the waterfall in the distance, and the huge curtain of water looks more pure and intimate at this observation deck. There are only three or five visitors taking pictures on this platform, there is no noisy crowd, no car whistles, only the sound of the waterfall decorating this handsome space.

Yellowstone Lake is 350 square kilometers in size. At first glance, it looks like a vast ocean, and the deepest point is more than 100 meters. The westernmost part of the lake, the southern end of Yellowstone, is called the "Westthumb", which is where Yunluo and Yan Shenyu go to visit.

Like the rest of Yellowstone, there are plenty of hot springs scattered around the lake, and there are plenty of boardwalks to walk. But Yunluo and Yan Shenyu have seen enough of these stinky hot springs. So I took a few photos and left.

However, on the way from Yellowstone Canyon to Yellowstone Lake, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu still had harvests, and there was a traffic jam on the road, and Yunluo felt that everyone must have seen wild animals. So I also prepared to stop and watch.

While the car was moving slowly, Yunluo saw a lot of people quietly taking pictures in the woods on the roadside hills, all of them sneaky, which confirmed Yunluo's suspicion even more. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu quickly stopped the car and climbed up the hill, and saw two huge elk (Yunluo guessed that it was elk) grazing, and they were still eating proudly surrounded by long guns and short cannons.

Yunluo also hurriedly took pictures of these relatively rare animals with his camera, which can be regarded as a big harvest today. Later, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu passed by a North American bison habitat. But this time I wasn't as excited to see these stupid cows as I was yesterday. Looking back, I saw a lot of wild animals when I came out this time, and it was really a hundred times more interesting than watching it in the zoo.

Yesterday, I borrowed the high-powered telescope of the caretaker on the side of the road to see a giant bird's nest in the valley in the distance, and there were two domineering-looking birds living in the bird's nest, and later I learned that the bird was called osprey (a kind of osprey) according to the picture. The joy of wildlife watching is that every time you see them is a surprise, and every time you approach them, you play with a heartbeat.

I especially admire the importance that the United States attaches to the protection of nature. It is impossible to make people and animals live in harmony with each other in some countries.

The three days and two nights in Huangshi officially ended, and after walking a long circle around these 8 characters, Yunluo felt that it was still very rewarding. With so many strange landscapes and wildlife to observe, Yellowstone is truly amazing. Like Sien National Park, Yellowstone is the kind of park that can be enjoyed by all ages, and any visitor can find a Yellowstone that they like.

This time Yunluo is visiting a very popular scenic spot, if you have the opportunity to come to Yunluo next time, you will try those unpopular attractions, I heard that there will be a lot of unexpected gains.

After finishing Huangshi, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu will also start to return to the east. On the way back, except for the man-made President Mountain, there are no attractions in Yunluo's itinerary.

After coming out of the East Gate of Yellowstone last night, there were actually a lot of thrilling things happening. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's plan was to drive from Huangshi to sunset and find a hotel to stay in.

But there is hardly any hotel on the road that allows Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to live in peace of mind, either the hotel is dilapidated or the city is quiet and terrifying like a ghost town, there is no sense of security, and Yunluo and Yan Shenyu dare not live. The wilderness towns in the western United States are generally less developed than those in the east, and it is not so easy to find a safe and clean city.

I kept going, but I accidentally drove into a huge forest park. Looking at Google Maps on your phone, this forest park is located in a mountainous area, not only is it huge, but the road is very winding and difficult to walk, and there are no hotels in it, and it takes three hours to drive into it and turn out from the other side.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu had no choice, and it was getting dark, so Yunluo drove into this forest park. Before entering the forest park, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu almost hit a small deer on the road. Out of nowhere, the fawn suddenly jumped into the opposite lane of the highway, and when it saw a car, it quickly dodged to the side.

Fortunately, this fawn was still a little distance away from the car on the opposite side, otherwise the car would probably rush towards Yunluo if it slammed its direction. Yunluo clearly felt that the car on the other side was startled, and the car swayed quite sharply. Luckily, nothing happened, and the cute fawn escaped life and death.

The carcasses of various animals can often be seen on the highways in the United States, but in the past few years of driving in the United States, it is the first time that Yunluo has encountered a live animal running into the middle of the road, and he is shocked into a cold sweat.

Walking through the forest at night was still quite scary, and Yunluo's eyes widened to see the road ahead. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu not only have to see these very sharp curves clearly, but also pay attention to the amplitude of the uphill and downhill slopes, and then prevent the animals that can suddenly come out, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu have always been nervous.

When the car drove to the deepest part of the forest, another deer almost died in the same situation as Yunluo, a deer suddenly jumped out to block the way, but immediately jumped out after seeing Yunluo's headlights approaching.

Yunluo also had a relatively sharp brake, but because Yunluo drove very carefully, the speed was also very slow, and it was relatively successful and smooth to avoid this big guy.

Borrowing the headlights of the car, he vaguely saw that there was actually a large group of four-legged deer-like animals grazing in the surrounding grass, and Yunluo thought to himself that it was fortunate that they were not blocking the road collectively, otherwise Yunluo might have been beaten by the group.
