Last Summer Trip to Yellowstone National Park

August had something against Nathan and I camping. Every weekend we'd want to go and it would pour rain. Somehow, we managed to get up to Yellowstone for one last camping trip. It rained while we drove into the park. It rained as soon as we put up our tent. And then we were good for the rest of the trip.

It was your typical Yellowstone camping trip, but we loved it! We saw huge herds of buffalo, and even some cute baby ones. We checked out all the major touristy spots, and did some sweet hikes. Pretty sure I made Nathan stop everywhere the map said, "Cascades" or "Falls". I love waterfalls so much!

The fog was incredible in the mornings.

The whole trip we were trying to find bears! And we did find one, but it was super far away. The Ranger said it was a Grizzly. Pretty cool. Can you see it?!

Here I'll magnify him for you!

Yellowstone made it up to us though for our not to exciting bear encounter. We were driving back to camp from up north and we saw a bunch of people out on the road pointing to these rocky cliffs. As we drove by I saw a horn. "Bighorn Sheep!", I yelled to Nathan. We quickly found a place to park and ran up the road... Everyone was leaving... A nice couple told us the sheep had moved and were moving along the mountain side. We chased them down and found them!

It was so cool watching them jump and climb over the steep rocky sides of the mountain. We walked down the road and admired the sheep from a distance. The next thing we knew... They had managed to work their way over the ravine that separated us and onto the road right in front of us. At first I thought it was the coolest thing ever and got some sweet pictures! But then Nathan and I both realized we were way to close to these animals and didn't want them ramming us off the road into the ravine!

Thankfully, we survived and were able to check a new animal sighting off our list at Yellowstone. I'm glad we were able to make it up for one last camping trip of the season.
