For the past four years my family has traveled the thirteen hundred miles to Yellowstone National Park, each year we come for one reason and one reason only to witness the true splendor that can only be found in the nation's first national park, from the Geysers at Mammoth Hot Springs to the towering waterfalls of Canyon. Yellowstone is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise.
Arguably the Holy grail of Yellowstone is the wolf, each year I have been truly blessed to witness this great animal in its natural habitat, to witness the interaction between the adult wolves and younger off spring is nothing short of amazing, you can see the love, loyalty and affection these great animals have for their pack members, and the fierce way they protect that family is unconditional.
Along with the glorious wolf is another regal animal the Rocky Mountain Elk, with its large crown of antlers and its trumpet bugle call the elk moves silently among the meadows and pasture areas of Yellowstone, occasionally trespassing on some unsuspecting tent spot or crossing the road causing a traffic jam that can last for hours.
Rather you come to Yellowstone to witness the splendor of the west as what it was meant to be wild, untamed, free, or to spend a leisurely day walking among the meadows filled with wild flowers, take time to appreciate the fact that we still have this natural wonder left to enjoy, in this fast growing world of sky scrapers and housing developments every once in a while it's great to get back to basics and enjoy what raw nature has to offer.
