September 3-14, 2014 Out West

After spending months of planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, and Banff, Alberta, Canada, we finally took off for a big adventure with four good friends.  The good news is, after spending 12 days together, we're all still speaking!  Good times, good memories, good friends. 

On September 3rd, we flew to Helena, Montana....rented a 12-passenger van, and set off for West Yellowstone.  Yellowstone National Park was pretty amazing.  The geysers, canyons, and of course Old Faithful were pretty spectacular.  With buffalo and elk roaming the streets, we were constantly entertained. 

One of the highlights of Glacier National Park was the red bus tour on the Going to the Sun Road, which closed the day after we were there due to the large amount of snowfall.   The snow continued as we entered Canada.  Hiking, eating, drinking, and certainly being merry were a few of our favorite things!
