Y-Stone and Jackson Hole!!


My Roomies (Kristen, Kelly and Marianne) and I took a trip up to Yellowstone and Jackson, WY. It was so much fun! We met Kristen's parents up in Yellowstone and they have been traveling there for about 30 years and so they knew all the fun places to go and cool places to see! We went swimming at this place called Firehole. Its the river, but natural hot springs flow into it, so its really warm and you can body surf down the current! It was a ton of fun! The first night we stayed in a cute little cabin in Mammoth. We did a bunch of sight seeing and animal seeing! We saw a grizzly bear with her 2 little cubs, a black bear, a bunch of elk and bison, a coyote, and some pronghorn (they look like antelope!). We went to a lot of geysers that were so cool looking!
We saw boiling mud, hiked up to a couple waterfalls, saw Old Faithful!, and then we went down to Jackson for some fun!



we went white water rafting in jackson and it was a blast! i was really scared to go at first and didn't want to fall out of the boat, but it ended up being a ton of fun! Kristen fell out on one of the huge rapids and i just about dyed laughing! :)



Old Faithful erupting!

some of the geysers smelled awful!


yay!


a really pretty waterfall.. the hike back up was VERy tireing! you had to hike up a bajillion stairs!
