Yellowstone National Park - Day 1

We arrived in Gardiner, MT, and headed up the mountain at about 8:30a to check out a 1st come 1st serve campground called Eagle Creek Campground in Gallatin National Forest, and we got a great site #9. If we had been just a little later we would not have gotten anything as it filled up shortly after. After a brief rest, we drove into Yellowstone to the Visitor Center, then took a short hike around the lower of Mammoth’s Hot Spring Terraces. Finished day #1 with dinner date in at The Yellowstone Pizza Co. in Gardiner, MT.

Gardiner, Montana is the gateway to the northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Our campsite is only about 2 miles from the North Entrance to YNP. After setting up camp, we entered YNP and walked around Mammoth Springs area.
