Yellowstone boundaries go into Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, with the majority of the park area in Wyoming. The main part of the park has a figure-eight shaped road through it. The top loop has two entrances; Mammoth Hot Springs in the North and Tower Roosevelt in the Northeast. The bottom loop has three entrances; Madison […]
Part 2
Grand Tetons NP
Unfortunately. the pictures I lost (see this post) were mainly from the Grand Tetons. When my dad and I were at the national park, it rained the entire time. That being said we did still see a decent amount and got to go on some wet hikes also. Our first stop was the Visitor’s Center […]
Northern Utah & Northern Colorado
Driving into Utah my first stop was Orbital ATK. This is a site where they build and test rockets. In front of the facilities, they had many samples of different parts and pieces and where they belonged on actual rockets. Just a few miles down the road was Golden Spike National Historic Site (see post […]
Rocky Mountain NP
From a distance you see the Rockies but you don’t really see them until you are right up next to them. I entered from the southwest corner of the park near Grand Lake. After a stop at the Kawuneeche Visitor’s Center I headed up the Trail Ridge Road stopping at a few of the overlooks. […]
Dinosaur NM
My first stop, as usual, is the Visitors Center. I got my Jr. Ranger book. I hopped on the shuttle to the Quarry and started to fill it out. After the quick shuttle I was at the quarry, a deep pit where materials are extracted. This was the actual quarry where they found these bones. […]
Golden Spike NHS
My very first stop in Utah was Golden Spike National Historic Site. So, I’ve never been a big history buff and personally had no idea what this was at all (even though I’m sure I learned about it in a history class at some point). For those clueless like me, this is where the United […]
Craters of the Moon NM
Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is a lava field in central Idaho. I spent a few hours there after I had gone ziplining. When I first got there I went to the visitors center to learn a little more about what the park was and how was there all this lava when […]
Glacier NP
When we first arrived in Glacier NP, there was a sign that showed whether campgrounds were full or open. The first one we wanted to try and camp at said it was open! We were very excited, but as we drove through the campground it seemed like there was only one open site left and […]

Washington, Idaho, and Montana
After dropping my dad off at the airport I drove north a little ways to see my bestfriend and godson. They had flown up some days before to spend time with her dad’s family. I got to the Anderson house during Rachel’s birthday party, so I got to help celebrate a little. Thank you Anderson […]
Silver Linings
I got the call I was waiting for. The Bloomington Police Department in Minnesota called to let me know that my camera had been pawned and they got it back!!! . Officer John B asked if he could look to see what was on the memory card. Unfortunately the jerk who stole it, deleted all […]
