Yellowstone–north loop

While you could spend many days in Yellowstone, we decided we would need to do it in two very full days. Our first day we chose to drive the north loop. It was an amazing day, with unbelievable sights. Here are just a few:DSCF7860DSCF7862DSCF7867DSCF7870

Yellowstone is a massive park and includes a great variety of landscapes including meadows with lovely streams.

Two days, huh? And, you did it all. You need to get back on the road again so you can rest!
