Yellowstone



 Over the 24th of July we took a motorcycle trip up to Yellowstone.  It was Mom & Dad, Natalie & Mason, and Me & Travis. . . It was so much fun!  We were pretty saddle sore by the end of the trip to say the least, but it was worth it.  We saw so many beautiful views and tons of wildlife inside the park.  Here are just a few of the pictures.


Leaving from Logan



The most elk antlers I've ever seen! Afton, WY

Dad

Natalie & Mason, just inside Yellowstone

Just as we got to the visitor center we saw an elk right off the sidewalk.  Pretty sweet


Me and Travis at Old Faithful

One of the many hot pots. . .

Probably the biggest hot pot we saw (that is steam coming off the water)

One of the smaller waterfalls (I don't remember the name of it)

Mammoth Springs, probably one of my favorite places in the park

A close look. . . so cool!!!



A herd of elk chillin on the grass as we drove by. . . no big deal.  Way cool!


A herd of Mountain Goats

We stopped at an old fashoned ice cream shoppe in Big Timber Montana and it was DELICIOUS!

The green rolling hills of Montana, so beautiful!

The top of Beartooth pass in Montana




The restaurant we ate at in Cody, Wyoming

Northern part of Yellowstone,  so many dead trees from a forest fire in 1988

More of the wildlife up close.  Bison and ducks



The Upper Falls

A rainbow at Lower Falls
