Yellowstone Park
In late May of 2018, Winnie and I took a trip out to Yellowstone Park. I had been there once before in 1972, but this was Winnie’s first trip. We spent five days inside the park, making a loop from the Western entrance south and back up to the north, leaving from the Northern entrance. We stayed in three of the lodges inside the park during our visit and even climbed mountain. I feel this park deserves its own photo gallery as part of the “Lower Forty-Eight” collection.
