On our last day, we headed south to drive back through Grand Teton NP and Jackson on the way home. Our only stop in Yellowstone that morning was at the West Thumb Geyser Basin, which had some more interesting geothermal features on the edge of beautiful Lake Yellowstone.
Our trip around the boardwalks was pretty uneventful, except for a stubborn toddler who refused to stay in the hiking backpack for longer than 3 minutes. She also didn't want to be carried or even walk much, so our result was this (much to the delight of the group of Asian tourists who all snapped her picture):
She wasn't fussing or crying, just hanging out on the boardwalk and causing a bit of a traffic jam. She didn't respond to our pleas, bribes, threats, or even our leaving (that speck in the middle is her). If we touched her though, it set off much screaming. In the end, we just had to carry her off and run.
The rest of the drive was filled with placating snacks and amazing views on the way back home.
