We really enjoyed Yellowstone. It is quite a large park. We would make a lunch and leave the MH around 9 and drive one of the loops in the park. We would find a picnic area for lunch and then drive somemore until dinner time. There is quite a lot to see. We would pull into all the visitor points they had, such as the various glacier areas and falls. Sometimes we would also take other drives off of the loop drives. We would also get out and do some walking up to the points of interest. We walked the loop at Old Faithful in order to see the other geysers in the area. On the second day, we took a drive on 6 plateaus and were able to see the baby bears up in a tree. There are lots of buffalo in the area. Here the buffalo rule the traffic. They get on the road and sometimes just stand there which causes traffic to back up. Of course, some of the people stop their vehicles in the middle of the road to take pictures which also causes the traffic to back up. We were able to see buffalo, black bear, mountain goats, grizzly bears, antelope, moose, marmut, wolves, bald eagle, elk, and deer. I divided my pictures into ablums for each day. We saw the black bear cubs on the second day. We were not close enough for me to get pictures of the grizzly or wolves. We had to be content to view them through a spotting scope.
We are slowly making our way towards Glacier National Park.
