Woohoo! Let's get back to wrapping up this vacation! I still have a few more days to go, but hang in there because we are getting to the end! On July 3rd, we spent our day in Yellowstone. I shared about our morning and all we saw in this post. Today, I'm sharing our afternoon.
After exploring the south and east side of Yellowstone, we headed west to the "Grand Canyon of Yellowstone" It was gorgeous. You are able to park and walk just a few steps and have this amazing view.
Can you see the river?
The waterfall was spectacular. There was a hike to get down to the bottom of the falls, but we opted not to hike down, because it was getting late, and my parents were with us.
Here's a better picture of the rushing river.
You can see this waterfall from several different views. On one side, you can get right at the top, at the bottom, and then you can go further back for the view we had. Then, you can drive around and hit the waterfall from the other side.
I literally cannot get over how beautiful it was.
This bench had the perfect frame of the falls.
After we visited both sides of the "grand canyon" we went to the mud pots!
Bubbling, steaming, sulferic pots of mud.
This one is called "dragon's mouth" and while there is steam coming out from a hole on the side, it literally sounds like a dragon is roaring from within!
One last mud pot.
and a bison! On the west side of Yellowstone, there were bison everywhere. We think because it was summertime and hot, a lot of the animals that you would typically see weren't out. The rest of our camping party took Sunday and drove to way north Yellowstone and they said they were able to see more animals. We were not up for the drive.
We finally stopped to get a picture by the Yellowstone sign on our way out!
Back at camp, we roasted s'mores and marshmallows before calling it a night!
