Camping south of Yellowstone on National Forest Land – at first it was very windy and quite cold but the sun ended up coming out just in time for dinner making this a breathtaking spot.Norris Geyser Basins – this is home to the Steamboat Geyser of the world’s tallest active geyser, it can erupt up to 400 feet! Unfortunately, it does so erratically and infrequently so we didn’t get to experience this, it’s a good thing there is Old Faithful Geyser (which we saved for day 2!).Mammoth Hot Springs – terrace style hot springs.We had camped overnight nearby on National Forest Lands. We entered the park from the North entrance which is near the town of Gardiner.
I would love to come back and go horseback riding along some of the beautiful trails we encountered! We saw geysers, hot springs, lakes, canyon’s, mud pots, antelope, bison and elk and most of this wasn’t too far from the road. While most of what we saw was limited to Yellowstone National Park, there was so much to see within the park it was incredible. This was understandable as there were boiling hot springs everywhere you looked! Roo has a little “den” setup in the back of our truck with her toys and water so she is quite content to be left in the truck.īoth Mitchell and I were excited to experience Wyoming for the first time and it did not disappoint.
We planned to drive the Bear Tooth Highway at the start of our journey into Yellowstone however we found out that they closed the route early due to inclement weather, so we missed out by a few days! So far, we are 0/2 for the “must-do” scenic highways, but we feel as though we have still found some pretty great routes! We did Yellowstone National Park over two days as the park is huge! We could have easily spent longer, however, similarly to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone was very restricted in terms of where you could take your dog.
