Blogs from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, North America

This inn resembles of Scandinavian or Viking architecture. I was amazed by its massive structure. It didn't feel like this was a hotel. It was more like a historic site whom the Vikings built this here.... read more

We were welcomed into Yellowstone National Park by a parade of two buffalo marching in the road, leading us and the other vehicles. How charming! We were delighted for the first half-mile. But c’mon, we were ready to check into our RV park and their backsides were in our way. We found quickly that we best get used to animal delays and the cars which stop in the road to gawk at them, with no regard for traffic following them. Not so fun, especially for those driving motorcycles. But no more complaining. We loved so much about this park. The unusual and ever-changing landscapes are gorgeous, from prairie to mountain cliffs. There are more geysers, hot springs and other thermal features here than the rest of the planet combined. We witnessed Old Faithful spew on ... read more

As soon as I became a little conscious in the morning I felt the warmth of Oscar next to me and the covers were over my head. It was a cold night! The temp was 39 outside but a warm 52 inside, the gas heater had kicked on during the night to save us from freezing. Remember there is no electric at this campground so no electric heater, not even the computer works now, the battery is so low. After coffee and a walk we headed out for the geyser region and Old Faithful. It was an early start for us 8:40am. Remember when I said don’t visit the geysers on a cold day, all you see is steam. Well that is still true. The day was cloudy, cool and finally started raining. I stopped at ... read more

Friday September 9 Rock Springs, Wyoming Here in Rock Springs, Wyoming having a Sr Coffee (43 cents) and getting on the internet. I have been in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton area’s for the past couple of days. Both places were awesome but some very tiring driving in mountainous terrain at sometimes 10 to 15 miles an hour having to keep constant vigil to keep from running into a buffalo or over a tourist or two. Those buffalo will just walk out in the highway like they own the place and then there is a delay as cars stop in the highway and take pictures at their leisure. Still, both places were magnificent and well worth going to. I especially enjoyed the Yellowstone Falls and canyon I would imagine the best way to go would be ... read more

We left Drigg for another long day of travel which was broken up by visiting Teton and Yellowstone. Teton was an area of soaring mountain peaks, another truly beautiful lake (but nothing compared to Crater Lake) only spoilt by all the boats and yachts that were moored there. In a way it was a shame as this park seemed to be used just as a cut through to Yellowstone mainly, rather than being enjoyed in it’s own right. However as it led straight into Yellowstone Park I guess this is to be expected in a way. We were only visiting the West Yellowstone area today as the road we needed to take to our camp site led out from there, but it was the geyser area with Old Faithfull in it so we were quite excited ... read more
