Weather improved,
temperature didn't, still 5 to 7oC We had some sun and the day ended
with a few sharp showers which gave us pretty rainbows and a super
sunset.

We started the day with
a short walk along the Gardner River to Boiling River where there
were plenty of folk sat in the hot springs, back for lunch then we
drove around some of our favourite places – Calcite Springs, Tower
Falls, the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which
was magnificent, we have always been to the south rim. We ended the
day with an evening drive to Hayden Valley which was quite devoid of
visible animals except the coyote I snapped just as he caught a
mouse!

We saw Bison, Mule
Deer, one Grizzly bear (we are sure it was the same one we saw last
year), a black bear and cub from a distance, Elk, Coyote, a momma
bighorn with her baby sat at Calcite Springs, one bald eagle and
tundra swans.

For those of you who
are thinking of visiting Yellowstone, you don't have to go hiking in
the wilderness to see all this, in fact we hardly ever see wildlife
when hiking, they see us first.
All these were seen
from the road as we drove around this magical wonderland.
Goodbye Yellowstone –
you are simply the best!
