At the 7:30 evening ranger program on July 17, the ranger told us West Thumb Geyser Basin was closed due to a cow elk that had returned and was causing problems.  West Thumb was open again on Monday.
 
I just got back from a 4-day trip to Yellowstone with my grandson, which meant geyser gazing was limited and most of the eruptions we saw have already been reported.  However, we did see a series of two Gemini eruptions on July 20.
