Washington, Idaho, Montana & Wyoming

The state of Washington is so beautiful, we drove around the Olympic peninsula which was stunning with a beautiful glacier lake just on the outside. We visited Forks where Twilight is based and Port Angeles which was a nice little town with twilight bits and pieces every now and again. If you've only read the books then these two towns are exactly how it's described. Nothing like the movies though. After P Angeles we visited olympic Game Farm which is the home of the waving bears. Basically these bears and others used to be trained for Disney movies and are still trained today. They were deffinately a high light of my trip. We stayed a night in Tacoma and spent the morning in Seattle where we ate Brunch in a cute little place called Citizen nom!
We drove through a little bit of Idaho and into Montana where we slept our first night in the back of the car due to the weather being bad! We woke up early...ish the next morning and made our way to Yellowstone National Park! Another must see place if you've never been, snow capped mountains, lakes , waterfalls and Geysers! The Geysers smell like rotten eggs but are ace! The colours of the waters and the minerals are so interesting, can't get too close incase they burn your face off though! People have actually died from burning alive eeeekk! We did get to see Old Faithful erupt though yay! The park is huge so we didn't even make it round the top half but the bottom part was still pretty awesome!
After leaving the park we drove to Cody which is a cowboy town which Buffalo Bill is from (or something like that, he may of founded it actually) this is a proper cowboy town with steakhouses and rodeos every night! We didn't watch a rodeo as I thought I might get too upset when they tie the calfs up :(
Once leaving cody we drove to Devils Tower which is an old volcano thats core is just left. It's pretty cool as it sticks out of the ground with nothin really around it for a couple of miles. After visiting DT we made our way down to South Dakota!
