America the Beautiful



Vast fields filled with buffalo and wildlife are everywhere in Yellowstone. You really feel so proud to be an American in this park! "America the Beautiful" was constantly playing in my head as I took in the sights. Yellowstone is the first National Park and you can feel the pride and patriotism in that from the rangers and staff. They love their park and want you to also. They are constantly striving to educate the masses and protect this amazing jewel of a park. It truely is an experience to not miss!

The wildlife is amazing and abundant in Yellowstone. The buffalo are everywhere.


Camping, Cuddling and Vino...........all so good for the soul!
We hiked down 328 very steep stairs to get to this view of Lower Falls..........and it was well worth it even with 35 lbs. on my back coming back up!!!


Gorgeous Upper Falls. Wow!
There are SO many waterfalls in Yellowstone! Don, Marliese and Cassidy pose in front of Lower Falls.

Our Vacation Begins!

Cat knows how GREAT it is to be out of the car! Yellowstone here we come!
