Travelling Fools!


This summer has definitely been crazy travelling year! We went to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons in June and then not even 2 weeks later we were on our way to Mexico for a week of rest and relaxation. Since we took so many pictures I will dedicate each place to its own post. First up...Yellowstone!

I seriously don't even know how to start describing Yellowstone. It was the most amazing place I have ever been! It was lamost like stepping back in time with all of the buffalo roaming!

When we entered the park within 10 minutes we were in a buffalo traffic jam and we saw a grizzly with her cub! Mid-June was definitely a great time to go because most of the animals had their babies with them! J took soooo many pictures that it was hard to decide what to include so here are some hightlights of what we saw...





Buffalo. Lots and lots of buffalo!






Some buffalo protecting their herd from a grizzly bear...




Baby Buffalo!



Elk

Antelope




Sheep










I forgot what this little guy was called but he was just hanging out on a rock by Fairy Falls.




Bear...











Grizzly with cub



Fairy Falls










At the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. This place was absolutely amazing!






Almost doesn't look real!







We tried some fly fishing as well while we were out there but nothing was biting and the water was still moving too fast.


















Thermal activity...





Crazy how the bacteria from the hot springs can form stuff like this!



















And of course you can't go to Yellowstone without seeing the infamous Old Faithful!




On our way back to Fort Collins we drove through the Grand Tetons! Another absolutely breath taking place! We weren't able to stop long but just another reason to go back!








There was way too much to see in a few days and we are hoping to go back!
