Island Park\Yellowstone

A few weeks ago we went to Island Park with Matt's family. We stayed in this awesome cabin with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms! It was perfect! We had so much fun! Matt and I were the first ones there because I had never been to Yellowstone and I wanted to make sure I got to see everything! The first day we were there we went straight to Old Faithful. We were there for a few hours just doing little hikes and seeing all of the geysers.






The next day we all went and floated the Snake River. Since there were about 20 of us we had 2 rafts and a canoe. It took us a few hours but it was fun. We had k=lunch and definitely had some good laughs:) While we were floating down the river we saw 2 moose. A cow moose and a huge bull moose. They were across the river from eachother so we were a little nervous floating between them but is was really cool to see them that close in the wild!





On Saturday we were going into Yellowstone, but a few of us stopped at the Bear and wolf museum on the way. It was neat to see the bears and the wolves. Of course Matt loved it:)



So we all met up after the museum to head into Yellowstone. We decided to start with Old Faithful but on our way up we got stuck in traffic for what seemed like ever! After awhile we found out that the road was closed because Pres. Obama decided to go see Old Faithful the same time we wanted to! So we turned our caravan around and go check out some other geysers first.




So after kinda a long day of waiting in traffic and seeing some geysers everyone kinda had different ideas of what they wanted to do so everyone kind went there own ways. Me, Matt, Pete, Whitney, and Isabelle decided that we had not seen enough of Yellowstone so we drove the loop and saw lots of different things. Our next stop was probably my favorite. It was the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Although it was kinda scary looking down it was so beautiful!






Next we drove through Hayden valley and saw tons of Bison! We saw Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb, and Old Faithful. Although it was a lot of driving and a little cold we still had fun. I am really glad that we got to see so much of beautiful Yellowstone!






Thanks Klc's for the great trip! I can't wait til the next one!
