Driving out of Yellowstone - The thermals

Museums can intrigue me forever. The thermals were pretty but after a while I got tired of them. We were able to park at all but one area with our 30 ft motor home so I think we saw it all.













The dogs and Max at a picnic spot walked along the river. It was very pretty.







As we left the park a herd of deer dined on the grass.

Highlight of the trip - Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Despite the gathering clouds we headed to the canyon area of Yellowstone.

What we didn't know was that Artist Point was going to be so spectacular! It was the highlight of the trip for me. Below is our first glimpse.

The views of the falls were magnificent even in low light conditions.

The colors and textures were something to see!

Down below the river was very pretty.

Another postcard view.

And another.

And again.

Eventually we had to leave and went to the North Rim.

Absolutely stunning.

This was my favorite area of Yellowstone.

On our way to the canyon area

On our way to the canyon area we saw our first thermal area, Mud Volcano.

The landscape steamed.



Boiling waters.

To get to the various areas you walked on a board walk.

The Dragons Mouth was well named.

Of course when we saw more bison we had to take more pictures.

Driving Yellowstone

There were beautiful views throughout.

With dogs one must take them out by the road in Yellowstone since they are prohibited on all trails. So we stopped alot as we went along. Here is one stopping place where there was a little path along the road. Very few places had this.

We did take the dogs along these rapids where there was a wood board walk. We didn't see any no dog signs and we were still within the required distance of the road.



Shortly we spotted a bison so of course we got some pics.

Then we saw more bison.

Blossom and Max observe the bison together.

Sunshine was happy to just look cute and pose for pictures. He had no interest in the bison or looking out the window.

Yellowstone first day = Old Faithful

The first day in Yellowstone we went to Old Faithful.

On the way we saw some beautiful falls.



Blossom was unhappy that she could not go out.

Old Faithful took it's time but eventually went off.

The inside of the Inn was spectacular but very crowded and hard to get good pics.

Blossom was mad that she had to sit in the RV so long and gave me a "look" when I came back from sight seeing.

Yellowstone - Grant Village

Our second and third night were at Grant Village in Yellowstone. This was mostly tents and trailers. There were a couple of motorhomes but not many.

Max cooking dinner.

Grant Village is near Yellowstone Lake so we walked the dogs down near the lake.

2nd Trip-Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Montana, Northern Idaho

Our first night was in the Grand Teton's at the Colter Bay RV Village.




Nearby there were fabulous views!

Unfortunately we were only there over night so didn't get to seem much other than what was by the campground. Blossom is ready to roll.


Sunshine ready to roll.
