Go West Vacation - Yellowstone (day two)

7/21/2009

Well, we definitely saw a whole lot of animals today! This guy was hanging out at the main entrance.



We visited Mammoth Hot Springs. It was A LOT of walking. This pregnant girl was hurting! The springs were really neat though.


We then headed out the northeast entrance of Yellowstone. We saw a mama bear and her cub,



elk, and hundreds of bison (all those dark dots are bison!).

We stopped to throw rocks in a creek.



I think that the boys enjoyed this the most! Bull was trying to pick up rocks the size of his head!



Gator enjoyed looking for new rocks for his ever expanding rock collection.

Once we made it out the northeastern gate, we drove through the Gallatin, Shoshone, and Custer National Forests on the Beartooth Highway that meanders through the Beartooth Mountains. We stopped to play in the snow and have a snowball fight.



We ate pizza in Red Lodge, MT, and stayed the night in Billings.
