Canyon Visitor Education Center

Canyon Visitor Education Center – Yellowstone

My husband and I were up at 6:30 this morning, thankful for some cooler, rainy weather.

We ended up at the Canyon Visitor Education Center, mainly because I had to pee. 😂

We toured the place, watched a movie, saw some beautiful artwork, bought a Bana because I forgot mine at home, and finally found some natural insect repellent because I forgot that at home, too. 🤦‍♀️

Two things I learned today: Yellowstone is 3,000 square miles and it was also the first national park.

About Marie de Haan

Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
