Journey to Yellowstone, Part 1 - Southeastern US (May 2018)

In March, I was offered a position as a seasonal Park Ranger at Yellowstone National Park. The job started in late May, so I planned a road trip with the goal of spending two weeks traveling to Yellowstone. It was a wonderful experience. America is an amazing country, and if I never travel outside the borders of the United States in my lifetime, I think I'll be quite alright with that.

Here's some highlights from my journey north.

The landscape of Providence Canyon was caused by poor farming practices that severely eroded the soil. It now looks like something you might find out in the Southwestern part of the States. It is a truly amazing sight. Providence Canyon State Park, GA

A small slot in the walls of Providence Canyon - a perfect hiding place.

A gorgeous waterfall at Rock Island State Park, TN.

A side perspective of the same waterfall. Very slippery footing here.

The sun was in a bad spot, so this picture doesn't quite do Twin Falls justice. This is a must-see if you're in Tennessee. Rock Island State Park, TN

The breathtaking Burgess Falls. Can you see the rainbow? Burgess Falls State Park, TN

Burgess Falls, put a bit further into perspective. What a beautiful place.

Frustratingly poor light and a lack of time precluded a decent photo of Cummins Falls, but here's the best I could do under the circumstances. I sure wish I had time to make it to the bottom of the falls, but the park was about to close. I'll have to return soon. Cummins Falls State Park, TN
