Yellowstone National Park is a beautiful place to visit. You can watch geysers erupt, see wild animals in their natural habitat, see the grand canyon of Yellowstone, enjoy hiking, go rafting, camp and much more.

The kids are out of school for the summer and the Twin Falls free summer lunch program for kids has begun. This is a great program to ensure that all kids get a good lunch each day even though they aren't in school anymore.
