Adventures!
Yellowstone was amazing. Big surprise. The natural sights were awesome, but the highlight was probably the wildlife. It is everywhere, and you are right in the middle of it.
Mammoth Falls
A Coyote!
Hot Springs and Geysers
These signs were all over, apparently people die by boiling water. I'm pretty sure that's the worst way to die. I'd probably prefer death by bear attack. At least they go for your vital organs first.
Bison!
They honestly didn't seem to care in the slightest that they were laying down in a blizzard.
Old Faithful
Grizzly Bear!
I got pretty close to this one. He didn't seem to mind too much, but I tried to keep some distance because these things will kill you in a violent bludgeoning sort of way.
Who me? Why thank you, I am majestic.
Oh hey giant purple bison, you surprised me there.
Do not be fooled, we wasn't showing off he was asking us to get the heck away.
I thanked him for the pictures and reminded him kindly that I don't eat birds. I feel like they appreciate that.
Ah! The giant purple bison is back! Run!
Dude, I totally have the right of way here.
They were running around and playing with each other. It was super cute in the way that giant fast animals who have the ability to kill you are cute.
I'm glad we were there out of season. It was still very pretty, there were very few people, and the animals were out. I highly recommend visiting Yellowstone if you ever have the chance.

How close did you get to all of these crazy animals?? And why is there tons of snow in some pictures, but none in others? Was it over the course of a few days, or areas that were far apart?
ReplyDeleteWe were pretty close to some of them! Adam has this gigantic lens that let's us see things that are super far away, like the bear. We did not get close to the bear. Actually, those areas were very close together and all in the same day. It's the changes in elevation that cause the drastic weather changes. Pretty crazy.
