Meeting up with Betty, our guide for the photo tour. 6AM at the Old Faithful Inn

Impressive fireplace in the lobby at the Old Faithful Inn.

Old Faithful steaming quietly as the sun starts to rise.

Our 1936 White Motor Company bus, beautifully restored!

These were restored by the Ford Motor Company and were fun to ride in.

Setting off from the Inn, in the yellow White bus on the Photo Safari.

At Black Sand Basin, we take some photos of Opalescent Pool, which has killed the trees.

The trees are now saturated with silica from the water.

Preserved, silica infused trees at Opalescent Pool, Yellowstone National Park.

Our yellow bus sits quietly as the sun starts to come over the ridge.
