Spring Visit to Yellowstone

We are very fortunate to live only two hours away from the oldest national park in the United States.  Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872.  Richard and I have been married for 15 years, and our goal is to visit the park twice a year, in the summer and fall or winter.  We’ve been snowmobiling in the winter, which is an entirely unique experience compared to driving through the park the rest of the year.

The majority of the time, we enter the park
through the North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana.  Gardiner is where President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone for the Roosevelt Arch.  At the top of the arch is inscribed “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.”  And I am so very appreciative; we just love Yellowstone.
