After flying into Jackson Hole, WY and spending our first night at the large Jackson Hole ski resort, we headed up to Yellowstone National Park. What an absolutely unique place! The colors, thermal features, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and wildlife make it location like no other.

For five days we stayed at various lodges throughout the park including Old Faithful Snow Lodge, Grand Lake Hotel, and the Lodge at Mammoth Springs and enjoyed beautiful weather which was so unusually warm we had wished we packed summer clothes.

Morgan did great, probably reveling in the fact that she could spend 10 days in the outdoors with Mommy and Daddy's undivided attention. We had one melt-down at dinner, many rough nights of sleeping, and a few painful moments in the plane…but for a two year old we considered that, not too bad!

Over the five days we saw most of the attractions, including the gorgeous Grand Canyon which goes for ~24 miles (800-1200 ft deep and 1500-4000 ft wide) with waterfalls and amazing colors.

And our last stop in the park were the beautiful terraces at Mammoth Hot springs all the way at the northern entrance, which are probably even more amazing during the wet season in the Spring.
