Can You Do Yellowstone National Park in Just One Day?

I’ve been to Yellowstone 4 times in my life. Once when I was a baby (I literally took my first steps in this park), once as a pre-teen, once as a college kid, and most recently at 34 with my husband (it was his first time!). I’ve enjoyed it every time. Well, I don’t know about the very first time, but I’d like to think that’s why I (finally) started walking. It was my love of Yellowstone. 🙂 I truly believe Yellowstone is the best National Park, BUT, it is NOT a “drive-thru” park. In fact, the scenery isn’t the reason to go. If you just want scenery, I definitely recommend the Grand Tetons instead. We have always done both

How to Spend the Perfect Weekend in Yellowstone National Park

I’m going to be honest right off the bat with you: I LOVE Yellowstone National Park. It ranks right up there with Australia. I do believe it is the best National Park I’ve been to and that you must see it in your lifetime. It gets neglected a lot because it’s far, it’s huge, and it’s NOT a “drive thru” park. You need to plan a Yellowstone National Park Itinerary. It greatly pains me to speak to anyone that has been to Yellowstone and doesn’t love it.

Everything You Need to Know About The 8 Areas of Yellowstone National Park

I truly believe Yellowstone is the best National Park, BUT, it is NOT a “drive-thru” park. In fact, the scenery isn’t the reason to go. If you just want scenery, I definitely recommend the Grand Tetons instead. We have always done both during the times we’ve been. However, the post is not going to cover the Tetons. That comes later. I see a lot of posts out there that do both and so you might be wondering why I’m leaving it out. Here’s the deal: I really want to cover a Yellowstone National Park Itinerary, so all my focus is going to be there, and how many days to spend there. I’m also answering a few other questions I’ve gotten

When is the Best Time to Visit the Texas Hill Country

I’m not going to lie to you, I’m pretty biased about when to visit the Texas Hill Country. the perfect time of year is really non-negotiable to me. It’s spring and no other time is better. We don’t really get “fall”. Sure, there’s a few places with some fall colors but the real color comes in the Spring. And really, winter is mostly Jan-Feb when you’re over it and summer is very hot.

How to Find Bluebonnets in the Texas Hill Country

Bluebonnets are a Texas hill country icon and so you would think they wouldn’t be hard to find. And in some years, that’s true. However, they greatly depend on the amount of rain we have had during winter and when it’s low, it can be much harder. You also need to know where to go that’s safe and NOT on someone’s property. Please don’t trespass, this is Texas, you could get shot (seriously). However, there is hope! There are a lot of people who work very hard to find the flowers and they are willing to share.
