Grand Canyon of Yellowstone



We were frozen when we woke up today and decided that the only way to warm up was to get in the car and go somewhere.  We chose the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the Bear Area.  We stopped at some more Geysers on the way, but Katie said they were icky and smelled like eggies and cried when the steam got her so we left.  It was snowing by this point.
 We stopped at Artist’s Point for a very interesting ranger talk about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone in 1995 and had some epic views. 




 By this point the sleet/ snow was coming down pretty hard so we drove back to our campsite to close up the tent that we had left open to dry out a bit from the condensation.  We went back on our journey and had epic views or canyons and waterfalls.   













We continued up the road looking for bears but found none.  IT was a lot of driving for a non-driving day. 
We ended the day with a kids ranger talk about wolves again.  Katie really likes the rangers.  We also told her that they check on her every night to make sure she is asleep.  It is supposed to get down to 28 tonight!
