The Grand Canyon...Summer 2009

This was my very FIRST time at the Grand Canyon. I can say I have never been any other place like it. It was breathtaking. We didn't account for the fact that there would be no cell phone reception many places in the park & arrived after midnight after getting lost, and almost running out of gas due to coming into the park on the wrong side. Although a little touristy, I would return if I had the chance in the future. The middle of the summer was perfect time to visit, although we did stay in the park and awoke to snow the next morning. An awesome time overall.

Yellowstone Part 2

The rain has finally let up...and we have seen a variety of animals like black bear, bison, wolf, deer, and elk.
We did a lot of hiking and tried to get "off the beaten path" as much as possible.

Our cabin was amazing, and the proximity to the West Yellowstone park entrance was close enough to be able to go into the park each day. We did learn our lesson about not bringing lunch, and ate at the cafe near Old Faithful on day 2.

Let's just day expensive doesn't begin to describe it. The next day we brought our lunch and ended up eating next to a beautiful stream, and taking our time!!

All in all, it was a great vacation. I do have to say I am still a bigger fan of Glacier though! I am glad to say that I did Yellowstone and it really was beautiful.
