Yellowstone National Park



The Beauty of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone 

        Yellowstone National Park is at the top of my list of places to travel. There is so much natural beauty and amazement . My family and I stayed in the canyon area for about ten days. We were immersed in the wonders of the natural beauty of the falls. There were many sightseeing and hiking opportunities. My family loves to hike!

Hiking down Uncle Tom's Trail into the canyon requires a lot of energy. There are more than 300 steps that descend 500 feet down into the canyon. It can be a strenuous hike for some.



  


 My husband, children, and I had the opportunity to hike this challenging trail about eight years ago. It was one of the best family trips we have ever taken. I was so excited that I was able to hike this trail. The falls were just magnificent.
