Cross Country Move Pt. 2: Mount Rushmore / Entering Yellowstone

After stopping at Badlands National Park, Joel and I continued on to see Mount Rushmore.  It was really cool, especially the night presentation, but it was a challenge to photograph with my equipment.

On Tuesday we drove from Gillette, WY to Yellowstone National Park via Highway 212 (the North East entrance).  We had no idea we would be driving directly over the mountains to get there – but it was one of the highlights of our journey!

Cross Country Move Pt. 1: The Badlands

On Monday I had the opportunity to see Badlands National Park in South Dakota.  It was breathtaking!

The rainbow looking colors are naturally occurring from all of the different mineral deposits over time.

We saw prairie dogs and even had to stop for a few Rams to cross :)
