We explored and enjoyed Yellowstone National Park for two days in a row, thanks to some gorgeous weather!
I have hundreds of photos, but I won't post quite that many :)
Enjoy seeing Yellowstone NP through our eyes!
Here is Day One:
 |
| What a difference a day makes! Yesterday was the Blizzard of Cinco de Mayo! |
The welcoming committees...bison and elk! They would prove to be faithful companions during our time in the park.
 |
| The first bison herd we spotted! |
 |
| Their neighbors: the elk |
First stop is Old Faithful, of course :)
 |
| The next prediction is accurate +/- 10 minutes. |
 |
| We had about 45 minutes to wait, so the kids got busy on their junior ranger workbooks while we explored the visitor center. |
Time to head out for the show :)
 |
| Right on schedule! |
After we saw Old Faithful erupt, we hiked the Geyser Trail on Geyser Hill. We saw some really pretty springs, tiny geysers, and a lot of really stinky holes :)
 |
| Stay on the boardwalk! |
 |
| Lions Head Geyser erupted right after we passed by! |
While exploring more trails around the park,
we found one of our favorite things:
boiling mud pits!
More wildlife greet us:
 |
| A gorgeous Mountain Bluebird! (Sorry it's blurry, still getting used to our new camera.) |
 |
| Yes... a male grizzly bear! (He's in the middle of the picture.) |
Gibbon Falls
Artist Paintpots Trail
 |
| View from the lower trail |
 |
| View from the top overlook |
 |
| More boiling mud! |
Good night Yellowstone...we'll see you in the morning!
