Yellowstone

Ah, Yellowstone. What a complete and utter treasure this park is to our great country. 2nd in my mind only to Denali.

After we left Glacier, we charted our path towards Voyageurs National Park excluding Yellowstone. This even though we flipped a rock (like one would a coin) inside a squatted tee pee that told us to go to Yellowstone. We didn't heed the advice. Even so, we had many signs to go to Yellowstone but kept avoiding it until finally we were looking for a hotel room 300 miles from the park in the middle of the night and every room for hundreds of miles was booked. We finally decided to just pull an all-nighter and go for it. We arrived in the park at sunrise and had the park to ourselves which was astounding.

We set up camp for 4 hours in the middle of the day, each sleeping about 2 hours in separate shifts and got back to the park fresh and new.

Inside the park, we saw: geysers, Old Faithful, eagles, elk, grizzly bears, black bear, bison and deer.

We toured the park for about 14 hours!!! It was a most magnificent day. I would recommend this park to anyone.
