I recently returned from a family trip to Yellowstone which is a must visit for anyone(this was my second time to the park). It is a national park that is overflowing with wildlife and May is a great time to visit to see the over abundance of wildlife in the park. Over the next couple of weeks I will add some of the hikes to the blog that we did while in Yellowstone. We are going to make a National Park Hike Section for the Yosimite and Yellowstone Hikes. While in Yellowstone we saw 11 different Grizzlies, 8 different black bears, a wolf take down an Elk, Herds of Bison, Herds of Elk, Big Horn Sheep, Herds of Prong Horn Antelope, 5 foxes, 6 coyotes, and much more like marmots, etc. Bottom-line is if you have never been to Yellowstone it is time to book your trip. Great Hiking + amazing wildlife + being on top of a super volcano = a great time. Below are a small sample of the pictures of Animals we saw on the trip.

I'm taking the family to Yellowstone in October, and I'm trying to put together a hiking itinerary. I can't wait to read more of your posts about the place.
