Yellowstone was one of the places we were most excited to visit. We'd heard so much about it and seen so many amazing pictures, that when we got there it was a little disappointing. After having just come from beautiful Banff and unreal Glacier National Park, when we first drove through Yellowstone, we were really let down. However, it was a nice, relaxing stop and we decided not to be guided by our first impressions.
Our second day, we spent the whole day hiking and exploring as much as possible and began to see the beauty of the park. The vast geysers and hot springs were each unique and pretty incredible to look at. Since I love photographing textures, most of my pictures looked like this.
And of course we did also see Old Faithful. It was pretty sweet, we have to admit. But I think we enjoyed people watching while waiting for it more than the actual geyser.
Our favorite part of Yellowstone though was the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Not visible from the road, we were completely shocked when we rode into a parking lot and caught glimpses of these amazing mountains. Somehow I'd never seen pictures of these and didn't even know they existed! It was so beautiful we had to hike down to the falls for a better view, even though my foot was bleeding from wearing sandals all day.
And Nina I tried to touch the buffalo for you, but they wouldn't let me get close enough!
