We recently made a 3 day trip to one of world's first national park- Yellowstone. We flew from Seattle to Bozeman,Montana and drove to West Yellowstone.
Yellowstone park is famous for its geysers,mudpots, pools and hot srpings, sensual blast of hot steam followed by cold air, the aroma of rotten eggs and belching sound of a hot springs. It is a home for bisons,elk, bears, wolves and moose.It's spectacular landscape shaped by volcanoes and glaciers.

Canyon holds magnificent waterfalls - upper falls and lower falls. Much of Canyon's beauty comes from its subtle range of colors from egg white to salmon pink. It is a star of the entire park, series of scenic overlooks and a network of trails along the canyon's rims and interiors highlights its beauty.
