Day 37 - Yellowstone National Park

Hey tour guide, where to today?  Yellowstone NP, very cool. Mrs tour guide will be getting more stamps in he NP Passport book.  Yesterday we were in Montana. Today we will be in Wyoming.  Two new states for us. 

 

Here we go again. Up and Down the long and winding road.  Hey tour guide, sounds like a song to me. Ok, I will not start.  But it could be a song. 

 

Hip hip hooray, we are finally here. 

 

Here we go into the Park. 

 

Mrs tour is at it again. She's a stamping machine.  

 

Hey Roo, it's your turn to stamp.  Great job. 

 

Hey tour guide,  look over there, it's an Elk posing for the cameras.  I think I'll go over and say hi. Oh wait, I can't swim. 

 

Whoa tour guide, that looks like a Black Bear on the mountain.  The park says to stay at least 100 ft from a bear.  This one is several hundred ft away.  That is close enough.  

 

 

Smoke from one of two fires in the park. We could not get to the Grand Teton NP due to the fires. 

 

Midway Geyser.  We couldn't get to see the most famous one in the park, Old Faithful.  This one did not go off while we were here.

PS...... 

Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.

It was established by the U. S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone, the first National Park in the U.S. and widely held to be the first national park in the world.
