Yellowstone--North Loop

Day before yesterday, we entered Yellowstone and immediately set off on our first adventure around the North Loop. We did a couple of short hikes and saw all manor of wildlife, geothermal areas, waterfalls, and amazing scenery. Jeff and I visited once pre-kids and are stunned both by how much we remember about the park and how much we don't. It's such a lovely place, and we are really enjoying sharing it with our kids.
