Yellowstone National Park! A place shrouded in mystery and myth. Who knows what is true and what is not? Adrian and I decided that we owed it to the public to confirm and debunk the commonly held beliefs about the world’s first national park.

#1: There are animals all over the place- FACT!

This is me making dinner next to our friendly neighbour-bison. He just hung out and shat everywhere. Super nice guy.

#2: All of the trees are made of wood- FICTION!

This is a petrified tree stump. It’s just one of the many tree-bits that we saw on Specimen Ridge that is, in fact, made of stone. Very good for touching, in my opinion.

#3: You have to watch out for park rangers when hitching rides through the park- FICTION!

This is a picture taken from the back of a ranger vehicle. Note the large gun. The ranger was super chill. He spent the winter volunteering as a fire fighter in Costa Rica. Solid ride.

#4: The Grand Yellowstone Falls- FICTION!

There is no waterfall. But funny story, Adrian drank some not-so-clean water from a river and then he puked everywhere. Including this extremely scenic location.

#5: There are beautiful hot springs throughout the park- FACT!

Not pictured: one of the more beautiful hot springs.

#6: The people in RV’s are all super stuck up- FICTION!

This is a picture taken from the back of Larry and Dee’s RV. That’s Beau, the dog. He’s super chill and soft. We basically adopted grandparents for the morning. Thanks for everything, guys!

#7: The Old Faithful Geyser erupts every 60-90 minutes- FICTION!

Old Faithful erupts only when sweaty backpackers take off their pants for it. 

#8: In the back of a pickup truck is by far the best way to see the park- FACT!
Need I say more?
