I spent only half a day in Zion and Bryce Canyon. There is much more to see and to hike but I, as per usual, had not enough time, although the weather was pretty nice. Via Salt Lake City I drove directly to Yellowstone national park. Yellowstone was one of the first national parks in the world, and is known for its many geothermal hot springs, the wildlife and geysers. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant. Before I entered the park I checked my emails and look – there was an email from Tritzi with an invitation to a big „party“ in Seattle, but I come back to that later…
When I arrived in Fishing Bridge, which is 7.900 feet (2.400m) high it was very cold and I had to prepare my soup in the middle of a little snow storm. I scrabbled into my sleeping bags in the fleece inlay, put our blanket above and somehow I defended the freezing temperatures outside. But it was a mysteric night with the howling wolves and the screaming wind outside of my campground. And there was always a scary feeling when you had to get to the toilet in the middle of the knight, because it  c o u l d  b e  that a bear suddenly appears. At least I was armed with a small knife and a bear pepper spray 😉
In the following days I spotted mooses, deers, elks, a beaver and other wildlife. More pictures in “Watch Me!”
