Yellowstone National Park:
Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is America's first national park. Located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
***Registration to attend Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday, June 8th 2010 will open December 1st, 2009. This registration will help us know how many people to plan for.
We will NOT be paying your admission, or any other cost for you to attend the park.
There will be sack lunches provided by Olives and Applesauce to a limited number of registrants.
With that in mind, please register every member of your group when you register so we have an accurate head count.
Please do NOT register unless you are truly attending so others can have the opportunity to attend.
If your plans change, please contact us so we can "unregister" you.
We want to make room for everyone and will do our best, but accurate numbers of participants are paramount to the success of the conference.
See here for more information.
