Wildlife Bonanza in Yellowstone Today!

7/11/2012

3 Comments

 
Today was our first full day in Yellowstone National Park and it was fantastic! We were treated to an amazing assortment of wildlife including seeing elk, pronghorn antelope, bison, deer, ground squirrel, and...here's the best...a mama bear and two cubs. It was incredible. Don't worry moms, we were actually in the vans when we saw the bears - but we were treated to that view from 30 feet away. Check out the photo links to see the mom with one of her cubs. We were all pumped to see this much wildlife in one day. 

We had a couple of hikes today - one very short trip out to Artist's Point in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. You'll see the photos in the set from today's adventures. And after that hike we took a longer one along the Uncle Tom's trail that followed the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone down for a closer view of the river. Some boys went the full trail and others only part way. All had a good time.

We also saw a petrified tree!

We did stop at the general store at Roosevelt Lodge to give the boys their first treat earned for garnering those compliments. We didn't get any compliments today, but believe me - behavior is fantastic.

    I never imagined that when I started taking kids on travel trips in 1978 that I would still be taking trips today! It has been a great ride and I'm looking forward to more.

    Over the years I've had the fortune to travel across the US several times, visit Canada several times, experienced Alaska, the Bahamas, Mexico, and Europe several times.
