Yellowstone and Beyond



We traveled to Yellowstone Park today. The Park is the most beautiful I have ever seen it. The wild flowers are in full blossom; the greens are vibrant; and the rivers are rushing at peak capacity. There were fields completely full of gold and white flowers. Traffic was atrocious, however. We waited about 10 minutes just to enter the park. We went to Canyon and Tower and then to Mammoth. We took a bit of an extended tour and drove out the North entrance to Livingston, Bozeman, Big Sky, and then to West Yellowstone and home. It added an additional 3 hours to the drive. UGGHH!!! But, the rivers, mountains and fields were breathtaking.


The highlight of the trip for most of us was the grizzly bear that we saw not far from the road. We have seen a black bear in the park but haven't seen a grizzly since we were very young. What a pleasure that was!!!
