Yellowstone Arrival

We left Springdale around 8:30am. On our way to Yellowstone, we passed through Salt Lake City. We both agreed that we thought it would be bigger. Overall, we were not too impressed with Utah. It felt like one step above a desert the whole way. We stopped at the last Walmart before Yellowstone which was about an hour away. We were making good time as we had not stopped since we left, but spent 2 hours in the Walmart parking lot. We ate Panda Express which was close by. The Walmart was a super Walmart with groceries, which was good because we needed more groceries. The Walmart was packed but Cory also spent like an hour shopping because we had the most random stuff on our shopping list: Water hose, space heater, formula (if they had it), leather seat conditioner (because the dogs scratched the pleather dashboard), and finally a toy for Declan (because this kid doesn’t go into a Walmart without getting a toy).

We arrived in Yellowstone around 5:00pm, set up shop, and then planned out our first day in Yellowstone park. The campsite had some snow on the ground so Declan enjoyed jumping around on the snow pile.Read more
