Yellowstone

Bought myself an annual National Park pass at the gate on the way into the park. I'll have to make good use of it till next July!

Driving into Yellowstone was quite an experience. I knew it would be beautiful, but wow. Had to fight the urge to stop at every single tourist spot on the map. Some of the initial highlights: Mammoth hot springs and petrified tree.

One thing I wasn't prepared for was just how much driving you do around the park. The roads make a figure-8, and it's at least 30 minutes to get from one leg to the next. Too bad, it feels... wrong to be driving around this beautiful place.

Stopped off at one of the campsites to make a reservation, then headed off to the geysers!
