Day 47
of Mentor on Road is a day off from all the events and all the meetings. Even
though hustling and working hard is fun, we all deserve to sit back sometimes
and relax for a moment.
Mentor on Road, USA has entered the 32nd state of the tour - Wyoming. Since today is a day of exploring this beautiful city, the first destination on our list is the Yellow Stone National Park.
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests eco-region.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the first being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year.
Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super volcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. The park is the center-piece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone.
Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls.

After this, Mentor on Road headed to their next destination of the day which is Boiling River Trail. We thoroughly enjoyed that place and were glad to be surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers all around. Relaxing ourselves in the boiling water was truly a soothing experience to the body and the soul. It was completely worth visiting the place.
Boiling River Trail is a 1.3 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located
near Gardiner, Montana that features hot springs and is good for all skill
levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, birding,
and horses and is best used from March until October. Horses are also able to
use this trail.
Tomorrow again Mentor on Road does not have any meetings scheduled, it being a Sunday. So, we would be heading towards Rapid city, South Dakota.
Hope the journey ahead stays as blissful as it has been till now.
Jai Ho! (Let victory be yours)
