Working in Yellowstone National Park, at Canyon General Store
I had some pretty frustrating experiences, but I also had some amazing ones. With any job, you have to take the good with the bad. In my experience, the good outweighed the bad tenfold. It is a time in my life that I would never trade or regret. If I could go back and do it again, I absolutely would, just hopefully not during a pandemic.

Hiking in Yellowstone- Divide Ski (Hilltop) Trail
Now that we have slowed down and are making it a point to enjoy life, and not just live it, a hike seemed the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary.
We hiked what we refer to as the Divide Hilltop Trail, but I just learned the National Park Service calls it the Divide Ski Trail. Evidently, it is commonly used by skiers since its all up hill and then all downhill.
