Today we got a late start but had a full day of adventures. Our aim was to do the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone complete with the falls in the canyon. We hit all the view points between showers and made the walks in the mile plus elevation without too much huffing and puffing.
This is our fourth trip to Yellowstone, but the sights don't change and it's always a wonderful sight to renew.
The wildflowers are in full bloom, but pictures cannot capture the full beauty. The mountains are simply a blaze of color. The yellow ones always stand out the most, but Tom was patient when I asked him to back up so I could capture a tiny one that was so pretty. We found them everywhere but we started out taking another road less traveled this morning so we could stop more often. It was a one way dirt road, and we took our time. Many times we pulled over to allow faster lookers to get past.
We missed seeing a mother grisly with her twins as she had gone behind the trees when we happened upon the site. People standing around had seen her real close to the road. At each bear sighting, the rangers get there fast to make sure people stay out of harms way.
The large black bear was busy feeding just below the road. The cayotte was just running around the trails and you will recognize The Yellowstone Falls.
