Yellowstone might be one of my favorite national parks. The scenery is gorgeous, the rangers are all really nice, and there is no lack of amazing wildlife.
We got up really early in the morning to go see the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone river. When we first got to the Upper Falls, we could barely see it through all the fog. But when we came back around after seeing the Lower Falls, we could see it clearly. The Lower Falls were gorgeous as well. There was a giant rock wall behind it and pine trees surrounding the area around it. We even saw a rainbow!
After we left the waterfalls, we took a hike around many beautiful hot springs and geysers. The hot springs were all different shades of blue and most of them were crystal clear. The geysers didn’t shoot as high as I thought they would, but they were still cool. For the most part, they were just bubbling pools of water that shot up six feet every few minutes. The downside of the hot springs and the geysers is that they both smelled like eggs that had sat out in the sun for too long.
On the drive back to our campsite, we noticed a ton of people standing on a hill overlooking a field. So, we pulled over to see what they were looking at. Turns out, there was a giant herd of bison! We watched them for a really long time. We saw how the males would roll around and kick up the dirt in order to try and impress all the girls. We also saw a few of the younger ones running around and playing. Once we started driving away, one of the really big ones walked into the road and stood there for at least 15 minutes. We couldn’t do anything but wait for it to move.
After our adventures, we went to a few gift shops and went back to our campsite.
