Yellowstone

We spent almost 2 weeks in Yellowstone from the end of September to the beginning of October.  It was the end of the season however the park still felt really crowded.  I can only imagine the craziness that the summer season presents.  We heard that more than 3 million people visit the park in the 7 months it’s open.  Based on what we saw, that must be absolutely crazy.

 

We really wanted to take our time in Yellowstone, so we decided to stay as much as we felt comfortable with.  For 2 weeks we managed to see all major geyser areas, did 4 or 5 days of hiking and explored all roads.  It is a cool park!  It is interesting to point out that relatively speaking, we felt bear safe in Yellowstone. After all, we came to Yellowstone after spending a month and a half in Alaska, Yukon and BC.

We found a cool campsite in West Yellowstone to stay for 5 days.  We were the only visitors in the campsite which was amazing.  We had a spot right by a lake and the internet bandwidth to ourselves :)… I watched a few premiership games on the laptop :).  The lake was also pretty cool because it was duck migration season and there were thousands of ducks in the lake and probably a dozen bald eagles hovering around.  Cool to see a bold eagle attack a flock of ducks.
