Yellowstone National Park

An awesome wonder of the world. When I was in Europe last year people would ask me where I was from in America. I'd say Idaho and they would just stare at me. Then I'd say Yellowstone Park. Suddenly they knew exactly where I was talking about.

This place is really fantastic in both scenery and wildlife. My family went and we had a fabulous time.

(Yellowstone Falls)

Did you know Yellowstone has a Supervolcano location in it. It's call the Yellowstone Caldera.

(My sister and her family at Upper Falls)

Did you know Yellowstone was the first national park in the world.

(Elk)

Did you know Yellowstone is 2,219,789 acres. That's bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

(My brother's buffalo selfie)

Did you know a male buffalo can weigh up to 2,000 pounds (900 kg) and run up to 35 miles an hour (55 kph). In other words, buffalo selfies should be taken several yards away from the actual buffalo :)

(Buffalo herd coming through)

Did you know Yellowstone has 5 entrances in two different states; Montana and Wyoming.

(Norris Geyser Basin)

Did you know the temperature of the hot pool determines the color of the  bacteria that will grow in it.

(This was my favorite color. How vibrant is that green!)

Did you know Yellowstone has 12 campgrounds. That's over 2,000 campsites.

(And yes Yellowstone is a kid/family friendly place)

Did you know "Old Faithful" received it's name in 1870. It is one of the most predictable geographical locations on Earth, thus it's name. It erupts every 63 minutes.

(One of my favorite sites, the Old Faithful Inn)

Did you know the Old Faithful Inn was built in 1903-1904 and is the largest log hotel in the world.
