Day 8- Yellowstone National Park

We had to start our day early as we had a long journey ahead. We wanted to visit the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River and the journey itself would take 2.5-3 hours to reach.

We stopped at the Yellowstone Lake for a short picnic. As we stepped out, I felt the cold air. It's really cold. I am supposed to be one who aren't scared of cold, but I really had to admit defeat. It's around 5 or 6 degree C when we reached the lake area. I didn't bring any gloves as I thought I wouldn't need it. Somehow I still felt cold with my winter jacket. The winter here must be quite terrible since it's only Autumn now and it's already so cold. Surprisingly, the lake water wasn't too cold.

After Yellowstone lake, our next stop was the mud volcano area.

We reached the Upper Falls and Lower Falls area in the afternoon. There were various few lookout points. We took the Uncle Tom trail hike first. This allowed us to view the Lower Falls at a close proximity and feel the power of the fall. As we climbed down the multiple steps, I could hear the power of the gush of water. The way up was tiring, but I still think it's worth the efforts as the Falls is quite nice.
