Yellowstone...Round Two


Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.~~John Muir
For anyone who has never been to Yellowstone, it is hard to describe the vastness of this park. Just to get from one side of the park to the other takes a good bit of time to drive. There isn't enough time to do all of the things we want to do in this area so we spent the day today hitting some of the "tourist" hot spots in the park. As of today, we've now driven through every entrance to the park. We had lunch at the Yellowstone Lake Lodge and dinner at the Roosevelt Lodge. We visited the Midway Geiser Basin, West Thumb Geiser Basin, Lake Village, Mud Volcano, Tower Fall, and the Beartooth Highway outside of the northeast entrance to the park. There are no words to describe the beauty we witnessed so I'll just share some pictures with everyone. We plan to rest tomorrow and then leave West Yellowstone to travel south on Saturday.

This is really making me want a road trip. We hope to make this trip in a few years with our girls, maybe we could all do it together. I am loving the pictures.

Make the trip again? Twist my arm will ya. :-)

We definitely want to go out west again and hit a few other spots that we didn't see this time.

We live in such a beautiful country. I can't imagine growing up here and never seeing some of the things we've seen.
