Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone

Just wanted to share some pictures from our vacation – we went camping and hiking around Yellowstone. What a way to spend a great active family vacation on a budget! Our national parks and especially the Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone NP are just wonderful with regards to visitor experience and environmental stewardship. We camped in a tent cabin which is very inexpensive compared to a hotel; we made dinner by the campfire – complete with campfire chicken stew, fresh pasta, make your own tostadas and more – healthy eating was not forgotten! And we hiked almost every day – some days I went close to 9 miles if you included my morning run.
