Pittsburgh MCG - Ivy - Day 3


Today was another amazing day. We started off by keeping a lookout for wild animals, and we saw tons upon tons of bison. There were a couple of times where we were fooled by the bison, thinking that they were bears! Once we got to the hill where we could see the herds of bison, it was glorious. They were chasing each other around and wading through the water, and at that time I decided that they jumped up to my top five favorite animals! When Jess told us to be quiet and listen, it was the funniest thing. We heard the bison making noises and I’ll never get tired of hearing it. Our hike was up to Trout Lake, and it was an absolutely beautiful sight. The lake was so calm and the mountains surrounding it were captivating. We sat and ate lunch by the lake and did a debating activity on the topic of whether or not bison should be allowed to roam out of the park. The last thing we did for the day was visit Tom Murphy, the photographer. Seeing his photos and hearing him tell his stories made me want to get back out there and discover every part of Yellowstone. It was very inspiring and I’m looking forward to seeing more of his photos!
