In 1993 I hitched, walked, climbed, and hiked from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Yellowstone National Park. Along the way I covered around 10 minor peaks and logged about 150 miles by foot. For most of my trip, I visited with my friend Karen Heidemann of Bremen, Germany. Karen volunteered in Yellowstone on a botany science project for the whole summer, and she is now a professor of botany at the University of Trier. This was one of the best trips in my life, and I'm happy to have discovered Yellowstone in a much more thorough way.
Let me tell you about the time I woke up under a buffalo...

Fantastic!
I never guessed 6 years ago, when I opened that I have to go to Montana, that this will be my happiest summer ever. I went to YNP with Work& Travel program for students from Europe. And still miss this place so much. :)
Caves, peaks, rivers, waterfall, grand canyon and also people whom I met there: americans from Gardiner and european students.
Amazing. One of my plans for life is to come back once more time. :)
Thank you for pictures. this place means to me so much. :)
