This weekend I had the incredible opportunity of speaking at Harvest Church in Billings, Montana. Harvest is an amazing church that is making an incredible impact out here. They have four campuses with one in Cody, Wyoming. They’re in the process of raising money to build an olympic size pool that they’re actually going to give to the city of Billings as a gift just to show they’re here to serve the community. Love it.
I rarely travel alone and so my son Jett got to go on this trip with me. We love traveling together. And when we discovered that Yellowstone Park was only about a three hour drive away we couldn’t pass up the chance to see it. Right after the last service we jumped in the car with our little map and took off.
I can remember ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to visit Yellowstone and it’s some 2 million protected acres. We took the Beartooth Pass (maybe the most beautiful drive in America) over the mountain and went in the Northeast entrance of the park.
Jett and I are getting ready to fly back to Nashville today but we just brainstormed a few of our highlights from yesterday’s trip.
-Snowball fight in July.
-Almost running over a bison after literally turning to Jett and saying, “we haven’t seen a single bison.”
-Watching a herd of mountain goats on the top of the Beartooth pass.
-Driving through 20 foot high snow drifts.
-Jett turning to me on our way out of the park and saying, “Dad, I can’t imagine there could be a more beautiful place on earth.”
Had no idea we would be able to squeeze this little journey in so I only had my iphone. However, here are a few of my favorite pics.
Have you ever been to Yellowstone? What’s your favorite park to visit?
