Yellowstone: Old Faithful Lodge

One of the first major breaks we took in Yellowstone was at Old Faithful. I almost decided to skip seeing the inside of the Old Faithful Lodge. I'm glad I didn't.

It was unbelievably steep inside and had an astounding amount of lodge-pole pine logs. We climbed up the three flights of stairs that were open to the public. I felt a little trepidatious about going up the stairs. They appeared to be all logs, that were held by ropes and they creaked under my weight and even Riley's.

The theme of the day was holding hands! Riley wasn't allowed anywhere without holding my hands or grandma's hands. You can see that in every space of the railings that hold in the 3rd floor, there is space for a tiny person to slip through.
