A Quick Yellowstone Recap






Some personal favorites from our visit to Yellowstone:
Best Geyser Display=Fountain Geyser
Most Frequently Encountered Animal=Bison
Best Hike=Lower Geyser Basin (not really a hike but rather a stroll along the boardwalk; there’s not a lot of ‘hiking’ at Yellowstone due to the danger of stumbling into a hydrothermal feature – ouch)
Best Side Road Trip=Firehole Lake Drive (along southwestern rim)
Best Campsite=Madison (not that it was more fabulous than the site at Bridge Bay but at least we didn’t have a sign posted 5 ft beyond our ‘rustic’ tent site stating “area beyond closed; high bear traffic area; for your own safety, do not go beyond this sign”
Best Grand Canyon=the one in AZ (sorry Yellowstone)
Best Main Road Drive=all of them. No matter where you go at Yellowstone you will be treated to some truly amazing sights.
