Yellowstone National Park

When I visited this place a couple of years ago I imagine I felt how anyone else would be when you come across this creation of nature. It was simply breathtaking. I was approaching from the North having just come across from Montana. This place kind of creeps up with you and the only way we first of all knew we were in the park was when we went under a small stone archway welcoming us (although that was followed by a toll booth and an entrance fee soon afterwards) The ecosystem there is just astounding, you have heard of Bison walking aimlessly in the middle of the road at their own speed which are simply wonderful animals.

As a Geography student, I knew I would find Yellowstone interesting, but it was truly one of the most amazing places I have ever been! I went in July with my family, driving in a hire car for two days. The wildlife we saw was fantastic, often having to stop the car for elks to pass the road! Or a herd of bison!

Yellowstone National Park is probably the most beautiful place that I have visited. Yes it is chock full of tourists (but I was one of them), but there can’t be many places on Earth which will give you such a rich vein of contrast. Let me explain… I visited Yellowstone in June 1999, having driven over 2 days from Seattle. Upon arrival at Mammoth Springs at the north west, Montana/Wyoming border we booked into a largeish wooden hotel, which reminded me of a cross between the hotel in “The Shining” and “The Waltons” (a scary concoction!). It was quite cheap too, no dearer than a motel. Here we made our base, even though the ...  Read the complete review
