Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone was a really amazing park to visit and the landscapes and various different types of lands were amazing. There is a loop that goes around the whole park and you can drive the loop and stop at all of the important points without doing much walking. Back country hiking is possible in yellowstone but is not as restrictive and challenging to get as other parks. We did a one night back country hike to electric peak and we just walked into the ranger station and booked it right on the spot. Its important to note that there are some hike permits that are awarded in a lottery system so make sure to check out the Yellowstone's National Park Service Website. We stayed at Grand Village Campground and were lucky enough to hear the Elk walking around and night and calling each other. It was an incredible and totally unexpected experience. We set up camp and then drove around the Yellowstone loop on most of the days. You can also stop at one of the thermal water rivers and sit in the water that was very relaxing but be careful because some fo the waters can get extremely hot.

Overall Yellowstone was a really family friendly place. Old Faithful was beautiful and we got to see Bison walking the streets right next to us one day during breakfast. We also saw Bears and wolves.
