Yellowstone!

The first (and I believe the grandest) National Park! For those that don't know about Yellowstone's history on its formation- thousands (maybe millions) of years ago it was a huge volcano that erupted and blew it's entire top of forming a caldera (the outline shown on the park map and by the surrounding mountains). The caldera has formed into a variety of sights: rivers, lakes, valleys, canyons, forests, hot springs, mud springs, and geyers. The park is so large that we really only saw about a fourth of it today in the six and a half hours we were there. We came in the East Entrance, stopped for a yummy lunch, walked around all the mud springs and geyers and sulphur caldrons, then saw some waterfalls that lead into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, some more waterfalls, drove along Firehole Canyon, then watched Old Faithful blow! And to top it all off it was a beautiful day and we saw a mama moose and her baby!! My dreams are complete!! <3
