Go to the bottom and you can see the Lower Yellowstone Falls. You won't be disappointed www.biquge.info the magnificence of the pen, fun and court. The latter will be a little easier to walk. At the end of the walk is the upper river of Upper Yellowstone Falls. If you have more time, you can try walking around both trails. If time is limited, UncleTom's Trail is recommended.

It takes a long time to go up to the waterfall on the south side, and you can see the panoramic view of the river and waterfall at the bottom of the canyon by walking the viewing boardwalk to the canyon, which requires a certain amount of physical strength. (The attractions in Yellowstone are still relatively suitable for all ages, except for the Grand Canyon, which needs to climb up and down, and the rest of the roads are basically flat.) Drive north from the Grand Canyon to the Roosevelt area on the right side of the figure 8.

I really sigh at the great changes in the topography of Yellowstone Park, the day before yesterday was the blue waves, lakes and mountains, yesterday was the geothermal pool constantly, the cooking smoke curled, but today it switched to the western style, plateau scenery, if you give the snow another chance to rearrange the itinerary, maybe you will stay in Yellowstone until the end of the holiday. 31 km north of the Grand Canyon.

It is the tower waterfall in the Roosevelt area, the least scenic spots in the Roosevelt area, on the "figure 8" route, there is basically only one tower waterfall, and the waterfall is on the side of the road, and it is not as spectacular as the upper and lower waterfalls of the Grand Canyon, and you can pass by. Tower Fall Location: 8 upper right corner (Roosevelt Zone) Reference time: 15 minutes

There are more than 40 large and small waterfalls in Yellowstone, and this waterfall is one of the most obvious and famous waterfalls in Yellowstone, with a 132-foot drop and its source is TowerGreek. The elevation of the waterfall is 1,933 meters, and the total length of the waterfall is 40 meters. Located 3 miles south of Roosevelt Junction.

On the way to Tower-Canyon. From Tower Falls in Roosevelt to the last scenic spot of the Yellowstone itinerary: the Hot Steps area, which is about 29 kilometers, thanks to the large traffic jam in the morning, it is already 4:30 p.m. More than halfway through the car, I saw a few cars parked on the side of the road, and knew that I had found a wild animal.

Sure enough, there was a herd of American bighorn deer on the side of the road, about one or twenty of them, and a male deer was very eye-catching among them, although time was tight, I still wanted to observe it up close. At half past five, we finally continued on the road to the last attraction: the Mammoth Hot Spring, and used the last hour before dark to complete the trip to Yellowstone.

Fortunately, I have done my homework before, and the sunset has been around 19:15 in the past few days, and there is only one attraction in the hot staircase area to go to the mammoth hot spring (up and down the stairs adds up to about 1 hour). The lava "terraces" - Cake Springs, also known as the Mammoth Hot Springs, are located at the top of the figure 8, northwest of Yellowstone.

It is the world's largest proven carbonate deposited hot spring. The headquarters of the Yellowstone National Park Authority is located here, and there is the Albright Visitor Service Center, which is open year-round. Its landscape is dominated by limestone steps, also known as hot terraces, which can be divided into Upper Terraces and Lower Terraces.

Mammoth Hot Springs used to be a colorful staircase that flowed down the hillside one by one, breeding a large number of bacteria and becoming a colorful staircase, but after a crustal movement in 2002, most of the hot springs stopped moving, causing a large number of microorganisms to die, causing the mammoth hot springs to lose their color.

The dead bacteria also turned into a grayish-white powder, which remained on the dry staircase. The road to the Upper Terraces Area is one-way and is closed during the winter months. In winter, those traveling by car to the Upper Terrace area will need to detour to the entrance that is a 3-5 minute drive south of the Lower Terrace.

The Lower Terraces Area is considered by more Chinese people to be very similar to the Huanglong landscape in Sichuan. Ornamentally speaking, the lower terrace area is even more spectacular and well worth seeing. American bighorn deer also flock here during courtship (spring), and herds of deer can be seen on the lawn near the Mammoth Hotel.

The nearby Boiling River has a confluence of hot and cold streams, and the water temperature is suitable for swimming. In simple terms, the mammoth hydrothermal vent is divided into two areas: the upper staircase area and the lower staircase area. To descend the stairs, you need to take a walking boardwalk, which takes about 30-40 minutes to go back and forth, and you can drive up the stairs (one-way winding mountain path).

Most of the hot springs are concentrated in the lower staircase area, which is also home to the famous Cake Hot Spring, and the two areas are actually connected, if you don't want to climb up from the lower staircase area to see the view, you can drive to the top platform of the upper staircase area, and there is a staircase that leads to this last small piece of mammoth hot spring (cake hot spring) that did not die.

Use your imagination to see a little bit of the shadow of the "mammoth" from the photo below At 7 o'clock, I walked down from the downstairs staircase area, the sky was getting dark, and I was still unwilling, so I decided to drive to finish the staircase area, not wanting to leave regrets. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, on the hillside of the upper staircase area.

A small parking strip is crowded with all kinds of cars, next to it is twenty or thirty photography enthusiasts who have already set up a tripod and telephoto, surrounded by a staff member who is explaining, and asked, it turns out that today is a rare supermoon + total lunar eclipse in a century.

I didn't know that there was this astronomical phenomenon today, but I checked the news on the Internet. What's more coincidental is that today's wonderful astronomical phenomena happened and there was no way to observe them, while in the United States, Xueluo and Yanzhi Sweet and Sugar Candy watched the live broadcast of the Tengu eating the supermoon in its entirety.

It's like an extra compensation for today's traffic jams. If it weren't for the delay in the morning, I would have gone back to the hotel early to rest, and I wouldn't have encountered the wonderful wonders arranged by Huangshi for Xueluo and Yanzhi Sweet and Tangtang. To the north of the Mammoth Hot Spring is the turnoff road to the North Gate Gardiner.

(I didn't go there because of the tight time on the last day, which is also a spot that is not marked on the map of Yellowstone, but it is one of the few places where you can soak in natural hot springs.) Location of the Boiling River: Between the top left corner of Figure 8 and the North Gate Gardner, it is not marked on the map of the national park, and there are no road signs on the road.

However, it is one of the few places where you can soak in natural hot springs. This is an officially permitted place where hot springs can be touched. The hot springs meet the river to form an area where you can soak in the hot springs. There is a strong feeling of ice and fire. One moment it is hot and the other is cold. It is highly recommended to bring slippers and a towel.

Many foreigners bring swimsuits to soak in the hot springs, and if you are too lazy to change into swimsuits, it is good to bring shorts and slippers to soak your feet. If you go barefoot, pay more attention to the safety of the stones at the bottom of the river. At 8:30 p.m., the total lunar eclipse ended, and we were ready to rush back to the hotel outside the West Gate. It is about 90 kilometers from Mammoth to West Yellowstone. Yellowstone at night becomes mysterious and eerie.

It's like driving in a primeval forest, there are no street lights, only the stars in the night sky, beautiful geothermal pools during the day, and at night you can only see them on both sides of the road faintly steaming, the breeze blows, and bursts of fog block the front of the car, it's really a little scary, I don't know if it's scaring yourself.

I always feel that there are glowing eyes of animals in the woods on both sides. I didn't encounter any cars on the whole journey, until I turned from Madison to the fork in the road to the west gate, I met the convoy, and there was a traffic jam again, but this time the snow fell and Yan Zhitian and Tangtang were commonplace, and there must have been Niu Niu crossing the road again, and sure enough, it drove slowly for about 20 minutes.

Suddenly, on the right side of the car, an American bison was spotted wandering in the night. It's really shocking! Remind everyone to drive in Yellowstone at night to be 12 points of spirit. At 10 o'clock in the evening in West Yellowstone Town, there are not many restaurants still open in West Yellowstone Town, and the hungry Snow Fall, Yan Zhitian and Tangtang choose a pizzeria on Main Street to eat.

It's sinful to eat pizza, chips, and fried chicken so late, but it tastes good.

West Yellowstone is about 370 kilometers away from Billings, it takes 4-5 hours to drive, and it is almost impossible to take a morning flight, so I booked a 13:05 flight to Las Vegas. The best way to get from West Yellowstone to Billings is to take the US-191 north from West Yellowstone, and then head east after Bozeman.

If you take the I-90 highway to Billings, although the US-191 is not high-speed, but the road conditions are better with fewer cars; if you take the I-90 from the North Gate (Gardner) to Livingston to the east, although it is nearly 10 kilometers, it will definitely take longer according to the experience of yesterday's traffic jam and the winding road conditions in Yellowstone; if you go back the same way.

It is even more unrealistic to cross the interior of Yellowstone and go out of the northeast gate to take the Xiongya Highway, not to mention the winding mountain road, you may have to be attracted by the beautiful scenery of the Xiongya, and finally you can't even catch the plane. After breakfast at 6:30, the sky is bright, and the US-191 road has been along the west side of Yellowstone, and you can see a steaming creek on the side of the road from time to time.

It's another sunny day, and the scenery on the road is a bit like Inner Mongolia, China, but the animal husbandry industry in the United States is basically automated management, cattle and sheep are free-range, and crops are automatically irrigated. Along the way, except for Bozeman, which is a small city, the rest of the way is this kind of western town, which is leisurely and comfortable. The whole journey was smooth, with the US-191 always going 80-100 km/h and the I-90 speeding almost 140 km/h.

(Google Maps is very useful, and a small area of road repair can be displayed). I arrived in Billings at 10 o'clock, it was still early, and I went to Walmart that day to buy some groceries, ate homemade sandwiches and salads for three days, and missed the rice stir-fry of my hometown very much.

So YELP a Chinese restaurant TaoNewAsian, it is not easy to find a Chinese restaurant in this small western city, the store is not big, the decoration is very chic, the owner and chef, the taste has southern characteristics, but also caters to the habits of the locals, less spicy and sweet, but I am very happy to be able to eat KungPaoChicken with rice here.

Eat a full meal. Different from the hustle and bustle of traditional American restaurants, I feel that the locals eat Chinese food a bit like we eat Western food in China, all dressed brightly and enjoy the food quietly. Before going to the airport, I filled up the gas at the gas station and was ready to return the car, and the staff looked at the photos of the odometer taken by Xueluo and Yan Zhitian and Tangtang and made a registration, even if the formalities were completed.

There are no steps to check the condition of the car. Billings to Salt Lake City, sitting on a CRJ-200 jet, this is the smallest civil aircraft ever seen, the whole plane only has 50 seats, no first class or business class, the cabin feels narrower than a bus, two seats on one side, the aisle is also very narrow, the crew except for the pilot, there is only one "empty less".

is a gray-haired uncle (unlike in China, when it comes to flight attendants, all of them are beautiful women with good faces and figures, in the United States, flight attendant work is no longer synonymous with glamorous beauty, older ones abound, and male flight attendants also account for a large proportion). There is no special place for flight attendants to rest in the cabin, and the uncle sits in front of the first row of seats.

Facing the passengers, reading the safety instructions in a relaxed tone, and interacting with everyone cordially from time to time, he explained that only passenger planes with more than 50 people will be equipped with two or more flight attendants, and then push a dining car two sizes smaller than ordinary planes to distribute drinks to passengers. The jet of 50 people was smooth all the way, and there were no bumps as expected.

As you approach SaltLakeCity, Utah, you will see the famous Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. It was a fun flight ride. Arrive at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport and get ready to pick up your car. In a big city like Las Vegas, the car rental center is usually separate from the terminal.

There is a separate area where all the car rental companies and their parking lots are brought together, and the car rental center here needs to take the ShuttleBus from the T1 terminal, which takes about 10 minutes, and the Dollar, Avis, Hertz, Alamo, etc. are all in the same hall, and the process is just as easy to queue up according to the order.

After the staff enters the driver's and credit card information, they can choose to pick up and return the fuel with full fuel, and then go to the underground parking lot to choose a car. The price of a 7-seater MPV booked at ALAMO through Ctrip is ¥1,199 (including tax and full insurance) for 3 and a half days. This time, I didn't directly give Xueluo and Yan Zhitian and Tangtang the car keys.

Because there are many cars of the same type, but this time there is no Kia Carnival rented last time, all of them are Dodge's GrandCaravan, but the color is different, the mileage is different, I picked a car with less mileage, the key is in the car, and we set off! At 4:30 p.m., navigate directly to Long Street, where the buffet and hotel are tonight.
