May 2004 Yellowstone,  Tetons,  Canyonland NP, Arches NP Moab,Utah Trip

Debbie and I flew to Las Vegas, rented a car and drove 750 miles through Salt Lake City and Pocatello and Idaho Falls on our way to Yellowstone. I'm not into Mormonism at all and I didn't particularly like Salt Lake City.  We stayed at west Yellowstone one night and 2 nights in the park at the Old Faithful Inn.  Gorgeous.  Yellowstone is so big it takes days to just ride the terrain - we hiked and walked to most of the geysers - many are dangerous and many are un-predictable as to when they will erupt next.  We went early spring and got there just after the park opened ( they have to keep the roads cleared with snow plows ).
