It sure was great having Sue, Kevin, Ingrid and Brian meet us in Yellowstone. The only downside was we didn't have enough days! The park is absolutely huge and really quite impossible to see in just 4 days. Imagine this; when you cross anyone of the main gates (there are 5 of them into the park) it takes at least an hour and fifteen minutes to get to anything. That is how vast it is. The lake, which sits in the middle has 141 miles of beach if you were to walk it. And the lake is just a fraction of the entire park.
Things I didnt know about Yellowstone:
* It was the first National Park in the world. 1872
* It is the largesst National Park in the US
* It has the largest fresh water lake at this altitude in the US.
* It has more thermal giesers than either New Zealand or Iceland
* It is a site of a super volacno 640,000 years ago.
Here is just a few snipits from our time together.
