Yellowstone

Clear back in July we took a fun little trip to Yellowstone with our friends Trav and Britt. It was nice to get a way for a few days and see the beautiful landscape of Yellowstone. I forgot how breathe taking it is there. We saw a lot of bison (people can be so stupid around those animals) and elk. We also saw a mama Grizzly with her two cubs and wolves (through a scope). We were able to stay at Canyon campground. We know the camp hosts so we were able to set up a tent in there camping spot. It was great. We didn't have to make any reservations or pay anything to stay there (even better)! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

This friendly bison decided to disrupt our bear and wolf watching. Apparently we were sitting right where his trail was. No worries we watched him walk by in the comfort of our car...unlike other people.

If you look really close you can see 3 brown spots. Those are the Mama Grizzly and her cubs...I promise those are bears!

Did I mention it was freezing! We weren't very prepared for the cold, but luckily we had jackets we could wear during the day. This is were we spent most of our second evening watching for bears and wolves. Even though we saw them at a distance, it was still really cool to be able to see them.
