Wyoming: Yellowstone National Park.

Wow, oh, wow! We just spent two days and two nights at Yellowstone National Park. We bought a tent at one of their General Stores and camped out in a site called Canyon Village.

(Here's our tent and picnic table. There was a fire pit as well where we made smores)

Yellowstone is absolutely huge. To any given place there's about 15 (or more) miles of road in between. The park consists of absolutely gorgeous landscapes and wildlife galore. We were able to see Bison, Elk, Bears (Grizzly and Black), Antelope, a Fox and a Coyote. The landscapes consisted of mountains, waterfalls, canyons, geysers, mud pots and hot springs.

(A hot spring. The water is up to 180°. The water itself is a pretty blue color.)

(Bubbling mud. The mud was white so it may be hard to see the bubbles.)


(More spewing mud.)

(Geysers)

These photos don't even come close to doing justice for the park. Everything is just so amazing and picturesque in Yellowstone.

For anyone who wants to go, be sure to make reservations even if you're just staying in a campsite rather than a lodge/hotel. We were lucky getting two nights in a row without a reservation but many people aren't that lucky. There's just so many people wanting to get a spot that a reservation is necessary. Also, pack lots of blankets. The nights got down to 30° and we woke up freezing!

Right now we're in Spokane Washington about 4 hours away from Seattle where we'll be spending the Fourth of July.

PS. We totally saw a Bald Eagle in Montana on our drive here. It was a pretty cool sight.
