Yellowstone | Weekend Trip

Did you know that Yellowstone National Park was the first of it's kind? Yes, that is right. In 1872, the land where Yellowstone is located now was set aside to be thee first national park. Oh, and how happy I am that it is! This past weekend was one that I'll never forget. Not only did I go on my first camping trip and crossed off the first item on my 101 in 1001 list, I saw so much of Yellowstone and my first herd of bison! 

On Saturday afternoon we headed up to the park to the campsite. Our group had chosen a campsite just off of Lewis Lake and it was beautiful. Thankfully the weather from earlier had cleared up and gave us one amazing sunset to watch over the lake. Below are some pictures.

Early the next morning we packed up camp. Being a pampered first time camper I brought some Starbucks ice coffee for the morning. I'm still so sad I didn't rough it and drink the instant coffee that the boys drank, ha! After being properly caffeinated the day started with hitting all the major sights in Yellowstone. Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, Mud Pits, Grand Canyon and the falls.

Along the way to seeing these sights I saw hundreds of bison. Now, ever since my visit to Buffalo Trace I have been in love with these animals. Which made me curious about the ones that inhabit Yellowstone. If your interested, this link will tell you some awesome facts about these guys.

Can't wait to spend more time in the park!
