Off the Grid

Yellowstone national park pt. 2

With little to no cell service in Yellowstone,  you really do feel like you’re getting off the grid (think Ron Swanson). Occasionally, I’d get a bar in a gift shop or visitor center but if I took a step to the left or right, it was gone. I struggled to send a text or make a quick call to let people know I was still alive but I learned how to live without my phone permanently glued to my hand…other than to take pictures. It was was because there was so much to see and do. I’ve already told you about the wildlife in Yellowstone but, there are so many natural features that are equally amazing. Here are a few things that I made sure to see:

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone: I went on a Ranger led canyon rim walk. Our Ranger guide took us through about a mile of a trail that traces along the edge of the canyon while discussing the parks history and teaching us about the canyon.After parting ways, I continued down the trail to Artist’s point to get a full view.

Mammoth Hot Springs

Old Faithful: Old Faithful was…faithful, erupting every 60-90 minutes.

Grand Prismatic Spring: This was probably my favorite place in Yellowstone. It was hot and steamy and even smelled like sulfur but, the colors were so vibrant.
