Day 6

We were told we could not miss the "Grand Canyon" What an amazing view. Caitlyn and I were bringing up the rear of the group hiking up the hill to the lookout.

Day 5 - continued

Before our trip Mike kept saying, "I want to ride with the buffalo". Well he got his wish. We were slowing down to take pitures of the buffalo along side the road with all of a sudden one decided he wanted to cross the road. I was on the bike with Mike and was able to take a few shots of just how close he was. He came to a full stop and just looked at Mike & I with a look of "hey I'm walking here" before he continued on to the other side of the road. This is what the call in Yellowstone a "Critter Jam".
We pulled off to the side of the road for some more pictures. Here you can see some other buffalo behind us. They were just off the side of the road.

Day 5 -A full day in Yellowstone

The first two pictures were at "Fountain Paint Pot". There were paths to walk around all the small geysers and mud pools.


Caitlyn was our tour guide at the "Midway Geyser Basin" pointing out an important spot of interest.
The whole group; (Caitlyn, Rebecca & Mike, Uncle Brad, Aunt Patty & Tara and Karen & Gary)

Day 4; continued

Well, there was no mistaking the Teton Mountains. They were absolutly amazing!
We stopped for a photo opp, WE MADE IT!
Riding in Yellowstone is the best place to enjoy the bike and all the wildlife the park has to offer.
This was the first large group of animals we encountered in the park. We ended up seeing so many elk.

Day 4

Day 3 took us from Stanley, ID to Alpine, WY;

and Day 4 from there to West Yellowstone, MT.

We spent a few hours in Jackson Hole, WY. This is a touristy town and we tried to see it all in a short amount of time. Caitlyn loved any opportunity to get out of the stroller, even if it meant sitting on a bear.

Caitlyn loved the feel of a fox tail, and being a moose.

She didn't think much of the Yetti however.

Of course we had to get our picture under the famous antler arch. There are actually four arches. One on each corner of the park block.

Day 2

Day 2 took us from Unity, OR to Stanley, ID. This part of the country is known for the "Sawtooth Mountains". A picture just cannot capture it's beauty.

(Sidenote-if you ever find yourself in Unity and are thinking of staying...DON'T, KEEP DRIVING. There is only one motel and you DO NOT want to stay there!!!!)

Day 1 to Yellowstone

We stopped off at Shaniko, Oregon which is a "Ghost Town" with plenty to see. We wondered around the town looking at the old buildings when Caitlyn & I were thrown into jail! But the rest of our group broke us out just in time to hit the road to continue our trip.
Here is Caitlyn in what she felt was her jail for nine days.
