What We Saw...
We drove to Yellowstone all the way from Kent Washington which took around ten hours. We decided to go tent camping while we stayed in the national park which I tend to enjoy as my family and I would go on quite a lot of camping trips when I was younger so tent camping always brings me a sense of nostalgia. We started our adventure off by pitching our tent and spending the first day at the campsite. My family and I were unaware of how cold it got during the nights as we were up quite a bit on elevation and it was the middle of summer. It got to around 30 degrees inside our tent so we had to wear twice as many layers the next night as we were all freezing the first night there.
The next day we traveled to many geyser locations as well as hotsprings. I had never previously seen anything like this as the water was beautiful shades of teal and orange. Due to the mineral content, people are forbidden from going in as we have to stick to a path as going off the path could disturb nature and accidentally injure yourself if you slip into one of the pools. The only downside of examining the geysers and pools was the smell as they would steam sulfur, but other than that, Yellowstone was one of the most magical places I've ever visited. I had never seen such an amount of forest before and I someday plan on going back.
