The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

DESTINATION #3 DID NOT DISAPPOINT

Yellowstone On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park where everyone could enjoy its unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within its 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.

Yesterday's drive through Yellowstone was scenic. Since it was early in the tourist season, much of it was still covered in snow, but the views were breathtaking nonetheless. 

My favorite parts were the geysers, hot springs, and waterfalls. The expansiveness of the canyons and walls is hard to capture with a camera cell.

There is a mile-long boardwalk surrounding geysers and thermal springs.
