Yellowstone: Day 1

Well, we wrapped up our claims in Billings and headed to Yellowstone today. It is a beautiful drive between here and there! Once we got here, we made camp and headed for the Bear and Wolf Encounter, then we made our first short foray into Yellowstone. Here are some photos from the trip.

Scenery on the drive here.




Up close and personal with the bears!


Maddie pointing out the bears. Okay, well she just likes to point, but there were bears in there!


Yes, it was a bear and wolf encounter, but the wolves were napping!

Our first true wild-life siting inside the park.

This was just a tiny hot springs off the road, but you could actually feel the heat from several feet away. Pretty cool!

  1. I had to do some explaining today at the playground when the girls kept calling out for "Mammie!" Today went by SO SLOW! We miss y'all! Leave some bread crumbs so we know where to go in Yellowstone!
