West Yellowstone is about 14 miles outside Yellowstone National Park, while Gardiner is merely 5 miles outside. But, the drive from Gardiner is a lot more picturesque. And, by first impression, I think Gardiner is a bit more charming than West Yellowstone.<\/p>\n<p>Today, was a much shorter drive. We just drove up from West Yellowstone to Gardiner and saw the Mammoth Springs. Also, saw more volcanic features. There are so many springs, each one unique. And no one has the same experience, because the landscape is always evolving.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joanneteo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/20090806_utc162742_dsc_2531.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-690\" title=\"Not all that smokes is fire\" src=\"https:\/\/joanneteo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/20090806_utc162742_dsc_2531.jpg\" alt=\"Not all that smokes is fire\" width=\"332\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joanneteo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/20090806_utc162742_dsc_2531.jpg 332w, https:\/\/joanneteo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/20090806_utc162742_dsc_2531-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hmm&#8230;. this trip I have made a lot of vertical shots.<\/p>\n<p>More photos in the gallery.<\/p>\n<p>It started raining while I was visiting Mammoth Hot Springs.
