Yellowstone National Park, part V: Canyon to Mammoth
We’re finally here. After six months of thinking about writing these posts, being overwhelmed by the thought of writing them, procrastinating writing them, sorting through thousands of photos, and finally actually sitting down and writing them, I’ve made it to the end. And I’ve saved the best for last, because this post will begin at… Continue reading

Yellowstone National Park, part IV: Old Faithful to Canyon Village
Hopefully you guys aren’t sick of reading about Yellowstone yet, because we still have this post and one more to complete our tour of the park. Last week, I left off at Upper Geyser Basin, home to the famous Old Faithful as well as dozens of other geysers and hot springs. The majority of Yellowstone’s… Continue reading

Yellowstone National Park, part III: Old Faithful and Upper Geyser Basin
In last week’s edition of this Yellowstone saga, we traveled a decent distance and stopped at multiple geyser basins. In today’s edition, we’ll pretty much be staying in one location: Upper Geyser Basin, home to the famous Old Faithful Geyser. Of course, this is the main reason people visit Upper Basin. But I think what… Continue reading

Welcome back to my Yellowstone saga! Today, we’re going to pick up where I left off last week and continue south on the Lower Loop of Grand Loop Road from Madison Junction to the famous Old Faithful.

Yellowstone National Park, part I: Mammoth to Madison
Last week, I published a comprehensive guide to visiting Yellowstone National Park, which was largely focused on planning a trip to the park: logistics, navigation, accommodations etc. If you’ve stumbled across this post because you’re planning a visit to Yellowstone, I’d recommend starting there, as it’s much more focused on the big picture. However, I… Continue reading

A comprehensive guide to visiting Yellowstone National Park
I grew up visiting Yellowstone National Park at least once per year, so when I say I’ve been to the park dozens of times, I’m not exaggerating. In another life, I probably would have been a good park ranger or tour guide; I can identify many of the hot springs and geysers by name, recite… Continue reading

A photo a day: Yellowstone edition
This past July, we loaded up the car, drove up to Montana, and spent a week exploring Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks with my in-laws. While I’d been to both parks before and my husband had been to Yellowstone twice, this was the first ever visit for my in-laws. It was very much a… Continue reading

A guide to visiting Yellowstone National Park in the winter
I’m in the process of doing a complete overhaul of my old Yellowstone National Park posts because, well, they’re old and in dire need of an update. Given my many visits to the park over the years, it’s a large undertaking. We’re also headed back to Yellowstone this coming summer, so I’m going to wait… Continue reading

A winter snowcoach adventure in Yellowstone National Park
As mentioned in a couple previous posts, this past Christmas we eschewed traditional gift-giving in favor of travel. Specifically, an overnight trip into the heart of Yellowstone National Park. Despite visiting many times, a winter overnight was something we’d never done, largely due to the expense. Only the northernmost road in Yellowstone remains open to… Continue reading

Yellowstone National Park: hiking Seven Mile Hole
Today I bring you the second ever Handstands Around the World guest post, once again courtesy of my mom! She had so much fun writing the last one that she offered to do another. Well, the only person I know who has been to Yellowstone more times than me is my mom, so this seemed the… Continue reading
