This series was taken a few years ago. My two favorite national parks are Mesa Verde for the archaeological interest, and Yellowstone for the geology (I actually enjoy the thermal features more than the animals)
We somehow lucked into the best end spot in the RV park just outside Yellowstone - plenty of stretching room and a great view

I don't remember exactly where I took this, but I think it was somewhere in Norris basin

We took a back country hike on this trail not knowing that a grizzly had killed a visitor the day before a couple of miles away
