We just spent two days in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. This really is the mother of all parks; two days was nowhere near enough time to visit. This is definitely one of our favorite parks (though we say that about so many of the national parks). Yellowstone is very kid-friendly and there are so many things to do; it is a huge park, with incredible diversity in its landscape and wildlife. For folks who haven't been there, it has an area with canyons and waterfalls, some grassland, some terrific fishing rivers, a very large lake, and don't forget, hydrothermals (Old Faithful and company).
We saw herds of buffalo, herds of elk and a bald eagle (flying over Lake Yellowstone).
President Obama came to Yellowstone the same time we did to see Old Faithful. (we didn't see him, just his helicopters). Here is a photo of the geyser, the President's helicopter and a gi-normous buffalo that walked past our car when we were stuck in traffic. (The traffic jam, I think, was due to the President's visit, this was all going on at the same time).
We just love Yellowstone and really hope to get back there for a longer visit next Summer.
