Sage along the road
Mammoth Hot Springs hotel
What a dump.  The first room that we got had no shower (only a bathtub) and the
walls were so thin you could hear everything in the rooms next to you.  Also the view
was a nice parking lot.  We complained and we moved to a room that had a shower and the view
looked out towards the Park Headquarters building.  The elk would bugle right outside our window
at night.  NPS has a web cam (daylight only) that looks out into the field in front of the hotel

Boiling River

We took the Boiling River Trail back to the outflow area
The nice warning sign greets you about getting the water in your face
The spring area
The 200 degree water on the left from the spring and the 45 degree water on the
right from the Gardiner River.  It made finding a confortable spot a bit of a challenge

We took a ride a few miles up US89 to check out Gardiner, Montana and the
Cinnabar Mountain Sheep area.
