The wildlife and geology was an incredible experience. One that will live in my memory forever were the 4 wolves feasting on an Elk carcass. We missed the Grizzly who was there the hour before. Good to know that Yellowstone is there for perpetuity

5/5 - Excellent

Loved the park! Hated the facility. WE walked into our room and it was filthy. Bugs and cobwebs were on both of the windows. If you want to sleep make sure you are on the top floor. We were on the 2nd floor and heard everything above and around
