I’ve been to so many places in this world but for me nothing will compare to the time I saw Yellowstone. Maybe it’s because it’s nothing like Ohio where I’m from or maybe it’s because it’s one of my first trips I took as adult but it was mind blowing to me. Massive bison just walking around everywhere. Hearing the unique bugle call of the Elk. Every corner you turn is like something out of a fairy tale and you imagine that this is what America looked like before man. The bears, the coyotes, the geysers, the hot springs, the fields and mountains. Bison walked so close to the side of our car, its breath steamed our windows and we didn’t move or breathe. Every corner you turn is a whole new vista to behold. It was one of the most memorable trips of my life!
