Exactly one month ago, I went to Yellowstone National Park. But before I tell you my adventures, I need to go over the facts.

So what is Yellowstone National Park anyway?

Yellowstone is the first ever national park and the founder of the National Park Service. The reason Yellowstone isn’t just Wyoming’s state park is because it stretches across Montana and Idaho as well. Yellowstone preserves the “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone,” more than half the world’s geysers, and many hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles.

My family and I rented an RV from Idaho and decided to set out on the first day.

==DAY 1==

We visited Old Faithful (I got a headache from the smell of sulfur), as well as the Grand Prismatic Spring. We hiked a bit to see the spring from a better view. But on our way back down, after it being quite hot, it rained for about ten minutes. That was how it was every day. It always had to rain for ten minutes. I also got a junior ranger book from the Old Faithful Visitor Center. We headed home and saw that we had done exactly what we had planned. We wanted it to stay that way.

==DAY 2==

Day 2 was a bit more scenic- we went down a strenuous* hike down the mountain- hill- thing and saw one of the main waterfalls: Lower Falls. It was stunning. The water went down all the way until it hit the rocks hundreds of feet below. A strand of algae seemed to hang on from a rock at tho top of the waterfall. Later that day, we saw Upper Falls, a shorter but higher altitude waterfall. It was pretty cool, too. We also went to an area called Artist’s Point, an area where you can see both main waterfalls and talk to rangers for thirty minutes. We looked around and I drew the Artist’s Point with crayons. Then the ranger talk began. We talked about science. I think I did the best by saying stuff about erosion. We also tried to see the sunset. The clouds are always too thick…

==DAY 3==

On the third day, we saw the Mammoth Terraces. The way up I was feeling tired and wasn’t willing to go all the way. We ended up going up about 90 percent of the way. We also found a formation that sort of resembled a human nipple. That was basically it.

==DAY 4==

My dad tried to wake me up at 5 am to see the sunrise, but I was deep sleeping so I did not wake up. The cool part is that we went to see Lamar Valley in the morning to try and see animals. On our way to Lamar Valley, I’m pretty sure we saw bears.
