Yellowstone Trip

We went up to Yellowstone over a month ago to see the wildlife and enjoy the scenery for a couple of days.  I didn't have to work on Columbus day (thanks Christopher Columbus!) so we went up on Saturday and came home on Monday.  It was a quick trip, but you don't need too much time in Yellowstone.  It is very pretty up there but once you've seen one buffalo you've seen them all.  Here are some pics of our trip!

Waiting for Old Faithful to erupt

The pretty fall leaves were pretty non-existent.  That's about all we saw

Buffalo.  I think he needs a tissue

Elk just hanging out in town in Mammoth WY

More Elk

The North entrance to Yellowstone in Gardiner Montana

The lower falls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

Clark and I hiked down to the top of the Lower Falls.  So the picture up above is where we were standing.  Then we drove down and looked at the falls from far away.  It was pretty creepy being above that much water.... I was a little nervous standing up there.  

Another picture of the falls.

The Tetons.  On our way home we drove through Jackson.  It was already getting late so we didn't stop except for dinner.  But I got this picture from the car.  It was cloudy so you can't seem them that well, but they are still pretty sweet.  

It was a fun little trip and the last time I was in Yellowstone I was a small child so I don't remember anything.  The bad part is driving in the car most of the time looking for wildlife.... Being pregnant and stuck in a car isn't always fun.  I think we stopped so I could go to the bathroom about every hour.  I was good at spotting bathrooms, Clark and his Dad were good at spotting elk, bears, bald eagles, coyotes, and wolves.
