Yellowstone

Wow, what to say about yellowstone!! Its huge and there is a lot to see. I spent 4 days and 3 nights in the park. Each day I visited a different area and camped in a different spot too. I saw all sorts of animals except for bears! There was a lot of evidence of the 1988 wild fires and you can see natures own rebuilding process as a result of years since the fire. The area is quite diverse with mountains, pastures, forests, lakes, rivers, canyons along with geysiers and hot springs. The park is quite busy with many tourists from all over the world. Whenever I hit a traffic jam, it was because some animals were nearby and everyone was rubbernecking to see them. The camping was fun too... always a friendly neighbor next to you to talk about what you saw or provide tips on where to go. The last day, I went to the only hot spring you are able to swim in and spent a few hours relaxing with the masses. All and all, I highly recomend going here sooner than later as age will def play a roll in what you can do and how much stamina you have to do everything.
