YellowStone National Park

We visited Yellowstone national park for the weekend of July 4th. Yellowstone is one the biggest national parks. Give yourself at least 4 days to see the park. Yellowstone is all about Geisers. All kinds of geisers, mud-geisers, sprinkling , fountain and so on. Here are few notable things we have done in the trip.

Watch Wildlife - There is plenty of wild life in Yellowstone. We got to see Bisons, bears, coyotes, musks and deers. There is a wild life park in the west entrance of Yellowstone where you can feed the wild life.








































Geisers - Dont miss the Old-Faithful and Norris geysers. The whole 8-loop in which the geysers are located is around 200 mile long and takes at least 2 days to drive around. Here are some pictures of the geysers



























Continental Divide
- Continental divide goes right through the Yellowstone. Check it out.















Camping
- We have read lot of reviews online and talked to many friends about the best campgrounds in Yellowstone. Contrary to the information we got, we found the Bridge bay campground to be the best of all. It's new, has all amenities and it comes with a free movie from the park ranger. And, there is boating in the lake too.
































Rodeo
- Wyoming is world famous for its rodeos. All rodeos are outside the park. We went to a rodeo in Cody.
















Boating
- There is a boating place right next to Bridge bay campground.

Snake River Rafting And Grand Tetons We didn't have time to visit Grand Teton national park. If you have few more days for vacation, checkout Grand Teton national park and snake river whitewater rafting.
