Yellowstone National Park, so majestic!

After Grand Teton National Park we returned to our Airstream for the night.  We then headed to Yellowstone National Park.  From our home base of Ashton, ID we had about an hour drive to Yellowstone.  Yellowstone was established as the world’s first national park in 1872!  This park influenced the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The park is 3500 sq. miles of wilderness atop a volcanic hot spot.  The park features canyons, alpine rivers, forests, hot springs and geysers.  The most famous geyser, Old Faithful that got it’s name because it blows approx. every 90 minutes and…

OMG, the HEAT!

The past couple of weeks we have actually struggled!  The heat has been ugly….So ugly that yesterday we rerouted our trip.   We were going to stay in Heber City until 7/29, but hanging out in the AC of the Airstream pushed us to make the decision to leave.  We have  throughly enjoyed our time here but we are excited to move on.   Our next stop is Twin Falls, ID for an overnight, then on to Ashton, ID for 9 days.  Ashton, ID is an hour from Yellowstone National Park and 1.5 hours from Grand Teton National Park.  This…
