Yellowstone

Geysers, Elk, Deer, Trees, Chipmunks, Bears, Buffalo, Flowers, Crows, Otters, just a few of the things we saw in Yellowstone. I never realized how close the cabin was to Yellowstone nor did I realize that Yellowstone is in Wyoming, the things you learn on vacation I guess. Here are a few pictures from Yellowstone.

There are some really neat looking trees, many have been damaged due to fires, like this one.


My mom, Summer, and Gary posed for a picture by one of the waterfalls we stopped to see.


A chipmunk.


A big elk that was standing near the road and causing traffic to back up for quite a ways...


Summer standing near another waterfall, I don't remember which - there were quite a few.


Outside old faithful. We didn't actually see it blow because we must have arrived just as it finished and we had to wait over an hour for it to blow again, but we did get some ice cream and Summer was happy with that.


I thought this photo of the crows is neat, they were big and the trees in the area were so dead so it looked kinda scary.



We spent around 7 hours total in the park, it was neat but long and a lot of driving. We are enjoying our time back at the cabin, one more night and we leave tomorrow and head back to Idaho Falls for a few more days.
