Day 1 - #westthumbgeyserbasin & #oldfaithful
Two of the absolute MUSTS in Yellowstone National Park. West Thumb Geyser Basin is a beautiful boardwalk of a ton of geysers and hot pools, and has an incredible view of #yellowstonelake. Old Faithful is just something you have to see, plain and simple! It is a short stop, but a great one.
Day 2 - #mammothhotsprings and #yellowstonehotsprings
Day 2 for us was a bit cold, so we decided to see some HOT springs! Mammoth Hot Springs is an incredible blend of colors, but don't jump in... Wait until Yellowstone Hot Springs to go swimming!
Stop 3 - #bunsenpeak & #towerfall
Bunsen Peak was our first hike of the trip! It is a quick hike up to the top of the mountain, with wonderful 360 degree views from the peak! Tower Fall is a HUGE waterfall that is incredibly powerful to gaze at.
Stop 4 - #lamarvalley & #grandcanyonofyellowstone
Lamar Valler is known as the Serengeti of North America and with good reason! So much wildlife in this ENORMOUS valley. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, specifically #lowerfalls, was our favorite place in the entire National Park! Lower Falls and Upper Falls will literally leave your jaw on the floor. You'll want to see them from the Brink AND from places such as #artistspoint!
Stop 5 - #grandprismaticspring & #fairyfalls
The Grand Prismatic Springs are pretty much unbelievable until you see them. An incredible array of colors that you would call fake if you saw a painter put it on a canvas, but we assure you it is real! Fairy Falls is an easy hike away from Grand Prismatic Springs, and is a beautifully tall waterfall, a great place to have a picnic.
Yellowstone National Park will be 5 days of fun and adventure, guaranteed! We would love to hear your own recommendations for Yellowstone or any other National Park! Reach us in the comments.

About Zach & Julie:
We first found out each other had a passion for travel when we started dating, and set off on our first trip together to sunny San Diego after only dating for a few short weeks! You really learn who someone is when you travel with them... Everything started off great with a delayed flight and lost baggage (the only reason Zach has broken Julie’s terrible overpacking habits and convinced her to become a backpacker gal) but we bonded the rest of the time over sunsets, bike rides, seafood and strong coffee. We were quickly hooked to the feeling of exploring a new place and found ourselves planning our next trip before returning home from the last.
Starting in January 2019, we purchased a 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan MV and are making the road our home! We spent 2 months converting our van (Winnie) into our home, with a TON of help from YouTube tutorials, and of course some help from Zach's handyman pops. Now every day is a new adventure!
