06.13.2015: First Stop -- Mud Pots

This was our first stop on the tour today.  The mud pots were not too far from the campground, and VERY cool.  Just as we started to approach them, you could smell them.  It was one of those smells that got into your sinuses and you could not get rid of them.  Avery said it smelled like buffalo poop.  Haha not like she has smelled that before?!  It was pretty cool though.  We went on a little hike up the mountain and back down to see different areas of these mud pots.  The Dragons Mouth Spring was pretty amazing too!
 


The stank was almost unbearable!

Tons of fallen trees...I don't know how they even survive in this.  The sulfur air, the mud & chemicals in the soil and water.  Seems unnatural.

Love this booty! :)
