Yellowstone

Us at Jenny Lake

This was a really cool waterfall that we could get right next to.

This was a beautiful double rainbow.

It was quite chilly in the morning, so cold that the steam from geysers made the boardwalks icy.

The first weekend of October I had a four day weekend out of school so we decided we were going to go to Yellowstone. We had tons of fun together. The mornings were a bit chilly, but by midday it warmed up pretty nicely. We went to the Yellowstone Bear and Wolf center, the Yellowstone Museum and learned about the history of the city and surrounding areas, and we went and saw the Yellowstone IMAX movie, which was really neat. We didn't see too many animals other than buffalo and elk. We got pretty close to some buffalo, probably about a foot away. Some elk were pretty close to one of the boardwalks too. We got to see the Elk Run in Mammoth Hot Springs. There were two groups of elk and it was definitely cool to see how their family groups work. On the way home we went through Teton National Park. It was beautiful with all of the leaves changing color. We stopped and learned a lot about the mountains in the Teton range and did some hiking around Jenny Lake. We found this small secluded little beach on the lake and took some fun pictures too. We hope to go back soon.
