Exploring Madison Junction to Old Faithful: There is more stuff to see and do along this most action packed section of road in the park than the rest of the park combined!
2Description
This podcast explores the action packed 16 mile section of road between Madison Junction down to Old Faithful and we catch all the rest of the geyser basins on our way to the Old faithful area.
We cross the Gibbon River on our way to the beautiful Firehole Canyon Drive where we will see the gorgeous Firehole Falls, the Firehole Swimming Area as well as other fun stuff on this beautiful side road.
We then hit the Firehole Flat Drive and see the oldest grave of a woman in the park and hear a near death story of how another woman nearly lost her life in the same area as well as a bunch of Bison and their Red Dog Calves that frequent this area and 3 great day hikes.
We then see Hells Half Acre on our way to the Fountain Paint Pots and and then hit Firehole Lake Drive which is home to Great Fountain Geyser and talk to a crazy old woman and then see Firehole Lake and talk about the 3 Senses Nature Trail and how you can still do it today.
We then make stops at Fairy Falls to access the best place to see Grand Prismatic and then hit Bisquit Basin and the three really fun things you can do from here. Next we hit Black Sand Basin and then I tell you all the great things to see in the iconic Old Faithful Inn.
Lastly, we go over one of the main reasons I wrote the guidebook in the first place when I tell you about how I found the seldom seen Rabbit Creek Area and see the 3rd largest pool on earth all by yourself.
We then hit Old Faithful and I tell you how the Guidebook then takes over so you can have a great day "working" the geyser basin and not miss a thing.
All along the most action packed stretch of road in the park.
