Yellowstone National Park

Charlotte and I went to Yellowstone National Park on Saturday.  It was Charlotte’s first time (and we figured since she was leaving Idaho, it would be a good memory). For her first time it started out great- about 10 minutes into the park we saw a bear! It was a medium sized black bear up on a hill. It was so exciting to see a wild bear (a rare and slightly dangerous thing) and it kind of lessened the excitement for the rest of the animals we saw through the park- herds of buffalo, birds, deer and more buffalo. 

We also got to go and tour the many geysers, mud pots and mineral pools. Although when we were walking around these areas it started to SNOW (yes, it was almost June and it was snowing- only in Idaho).  Although we were freezing we kept going and saw some really pretty and amazing things. 

 

One of the “must see’s” at Yellowstone is Old Faithful (a huge geyser).  We got to see that and walk through the visitor’s center.  After that we went and saw the Yellowstone ‘Grand Canyon’ and some beautiful falls.  It was such a beautiful trip, despite the cold, and we were really glad that we went.
