Yellowstone

After the family reunion we went to Yellowstone. We had some pretty good luck while in Yellowstone; we were able to see many things that we have wanted to see in the past, but have not had the opportunity to see. The first neat thing we saw was the erruption of Grand Geyser. It is found in the same area as Old Faithful, but isn't as famous as Old Faithful because it only erupts about every 7-15 hours.
The neat thing about Grand Geyser is that it is the tallest predictable geyser in the world. We also saw 9 bears one evening as we were driving around! That was awesome, we have always wanted to see a bear up there, but have had no luck in the past. This time we saw quite a bunch of them. We also saw mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and either a wolf or coyote. We have never seen the mountain goats, bighorn sheep, or a wolf before either.
This is the first bear that we saw, a nice big grizzly. It was really near to the road as well.
This is a cub that we saw up in a tree. The mother was down below in the grass on the ground.
We had a lot of fun together in Yellowstone, and that was just the first part of our vacation. Our vacation was definitely off to a good start.
