Rest of Yellowstone

Here's the rest of our trip. The second day we took it really slow. Visited the mud pots and then went into west yellowstone for the day. It was nice to just be able to relax and hang out together. The last day we saw the coolest stuff (of course. It was Karl's day to choose). And of course that was the day we forgot the camera. So all we had was my cell phone to document the gorgeous hike up Mt. Washburn. The three grizzly bears. The buffalo jam. There were seriously about 600 bison in one area (I had plenty of time to count) and they kept deciding they wanted to cross the road. It wasn't that bad if they were right in front of you so you had a good view. And of course, the gorgeous falls.
If you go to Yellowstone make sure you take Uncle Tom's trail. It gives you the best view of the lower falls. Karl loved the stairs. He's a bit afraid of heights and the fact that you can see through the steps to the ground WAY below made it interesting. We made sure to rest at the bottom. But it was well worth it. Other than that we hung out at the tent, made s'mores, and watched Karl extinguish the spontaneous flames that came from the camp stove. All in all it was a great trip.

  1. I hate those stairs too Karl! Looks like fun! I like to watch the Buffalo. You did have a good view up close!
