Like moths to a flame, we couldn't be so close to Yellowstone without visiting. Since it was raining on our first day and we couldn't see the Tetons, we headed to Old Faithful and were lucky enough to get a cabin. We spent the rest of the day strolling through the Upper Geyser Basin in the rain. After we finished our backpack trip a week later, we stayed one more night in the Old House of Old Faithful Inn, in a room without a bath.
