Day 63 (Night) Alone with Old Faithful & the Stars

Alone with Old Faithful & the Stars

Before bed I left the snow lodge amid the howls and yaps of coyotes and set off into the dark toward Old Faithful. It was a very dark night and the torch I had wasn’t great, it kept cutting out on me like something from a horror film.

The temperature had dropped but I was wearing my snowmobiling clothes from the days journey across Yellowstone, so i couldn’t feel the chill (It can get to -50 here).

As I approached the geyser I could hear it bubbling water and venting gases from deep below the earth, it was eerie to be out here alone at night. Then I looked up and saw thousands of the billions of stars in the night sky. I set up my camera and over an hour of laying in the snow managed to capture a few long exposures that help set record the memory for me.

A magical hour spent alone out in the dark with the universe.

Old Faithful Erupting

Old Faithful is a cone geyser and was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition. It was the first geyser in the park to receive a name. It is also called the most predictable geographical feature on Earth erupting almost every 91 minutes.

Luckily we just arrived in time to see it go off after a hard days snowmobiling.
