Yellowstone August 23








The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

We met Schelbs for breakfast at a cute 50’s style soda fountain near our lodge and then they left for home. We started off the day with a 3 mile ranger guided hike along the Upper Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and then along a trail into the forest and meadow to explore the geology and history of the canyon and enjoy a bit of the backcountry. Along the trail, we saw some deer and a yellow bellied marmot. After the hike, we drove along the overlooks and enjoyed beautiful views of the canyon and the lower falls. The best view was from the overlook at Artist Point.
