A couple of scenic drives with one following a river canyon and the other following geysers. The Firehole River Canyon and Firehole Lake drives lets even the laziest traveler see some spectacular views and stuff!
We woke up super early to go to Hayden Valley to view wildlife, but with rain and thunderstorms all morning long, we saw nothing! So, on to the next best thing nearby, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone! This is where you can view the iconic Upper and Lower Falls.
First day in Yellowstone was spent checking into camp and grabbing a few things from the general store. But on the way back to camp in the evening, we decided to explore West Thumb Basin nearby Grant Village. We were lucky enough to also see an elk walk through the area!
After about 20 hours of driving from Minnesota, we finally arrived in Yellowstone National Park! The next few days of being here would be spent relaxing, exploring the various sites, looking for wildlife, and disconnecting ourselves from society for the moment.
