Journey to Yellowstone National Park - West Yellowstone, Montana

Yesterday morning we started from Twin Falls, Idaho.Kids lend us a helping hand in getting things packed. All through out the trip they were extremely cooperative and amicable.

Our first stop was at vista point overlooking canyon formed by Snake River. Here are some pictures of river and canyon as observed from vista point.

We reached our hotel in West Yellowstone, Montana little after 4 P.M. covering more than 350 miles from where we started. The road leading to West Yellowstone looked really beautiful under afternoon sun.

Two bad news greeted us. The first one is the possibility of thunderstorm in coming days. The second is was more disturbing. Couple of convicts have taken refuge in Montana's part of Yellowstone (Convicts in Yellowstone). Yellowstone Park has not been closed down till now since this is the peak season when visitors from across the country come here.

We keep our fingers crossed.
