Our Honeymoon Road Trip: Day 5, Part 2

I’m not so much a dragon slayer, more a dragon annoyer — I’m a dragon irritator.

Craig Ferguson

During the back half of our last full day in Yellowstone National Park, we hiked both the Mud Volcano and Storm Point Trails.

The Mud Volcano Trail was a real treat, and not just because there were cool features named after dragons! We even got to see a bison hanging out near the Mud Geyser. The mostly ADA accessible trail snakes through the hills adjacent to Sour Creek Dome. And that particular dome is resurgent. Meaning, it has become more active, reforming the land area by the moving magma underneath its surface! SO COOL!!!!

From there, we headed to the Yellowstone Lake area of the Park to hike the Storm Point Trail. The lake itself is the largest high altitude lake in North America, sitting at an elevation of just over 7,700 feet. The 2.5 mile trail can be done as a slightly shortened out and back, or the full lollipop loop. We opted to do the loop, and I definitely recommend it over the out and back. The lodgepole pine forest is something to behold and missed if you turn around and go back the way you came! Please be aware that this area of the Park sees a lot of bear activity, so please be sure to pack your bear spray.

We ended our day back at the Old Faithful Inn for dinner at the Obsidian Dining Room. While none of the eateries within the Park really impressed us, this restaurant offered the best options for us pescatarians.

With over an hours worth of video from the day, I again decided to split the YouTube Video into two parts. Check out Part 2 below! Missed part 1?
