YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

We spent 5 days touring Yellowstone NP in late August. It takes 5 days to see the highlights of the park and a lot more time to see all of the park. It is for sure a National Treasure.



This was on the first day at Mamouth Hot Springs. The following are pictures from around the hot springs. The hike is about a mile of up and down easy walking,.
 










The Yellowstone River on the afternoon of our first day. We were parked in Gardener Montana on the Northern border of Yellowstone. A very nice RV park just outside of the NP with all of the conveniences we wanted. It was a nice small town with some nice restaurants and of course a Microbrewery


This was a garbage can in the NP. They say that the artwork on the containers stops graffiti. They look pretty cool.


From the top of Yellowstone Falls. This was on our 2nd day. This hike is only about 1/2 mile down, but the hike up is a killer and a real test of the heart.



Previous picture was taken at the top of the falls, this is about a mile away looking at the front of the falls.


On the drive back to the motor home. Buffalo are everywhere in the park.

Lots of Elk.


And very interesting roadways.
