Being out here is almost like living in a different world. Unlike in the city, where you have to watch out for pedestrians crossing the street, here you have to yield for buffalo. I think my mom experienced her first panic attack when my dad let one get a little too close to our car.
The two days my parents and I got to spend in Yellowstone together before I started work were nothing short of amazing. Who knew I’d have so much fun traveling with my parents? We spent the whole two days making the entire figure eight around Yellowstone Park and stopping at all the popular spots. Along the way we saw elk, buffalo, antelope, big horn sheep, and even a few grizzlies! As soon as I spotted my first bear jam I practically jumped from the car while it was still moving to get a good look at my first bear of the summer. While I snapped shots of a grizzly off in the distance my dad continued driving causing me to have to chase down the car in front of two very amused park rangers.
Among our many stops we went and watched Old Faithful erupt while we sat on the lodge’s porch and ate pretzels the size of our heads. We drove up to the Beartooth Highway and got to experience snow in June and stop at the Top Of The World Store. We hiked along the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and took pictures of the upper and lower falls. We also stopped and walked around Mammoth Hot Springs. Needless to say our two days in Yellowstone were jam-packed.
