Yesterday we traveled through Canyon Village where we drove along the Northern Rim to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The Canyon varies from 800-1200 feet in depth and from 1500-4000 feet in width. It's length is about 24 miles. What a beautiful sight to behold especially seeing the Yellowstone River run through it.
Afterwards we drove around the Yellowstone Lake which began at Lake Village and curved around the West Thumb area of the park. It is this lake that feeds the Yellowstone River.
Another side trip which we took was the Firehole Lake Drive where we saw the Firehole Springs which were approximately 4 feet deep. They were amazing and the colors were incredible - blues and greens - and the steam!!!!
As we wound our way back to the coach, we were able to capture a picture of a mother elk suckling her young. It doesn't get any better than this!!! What a fabulous day we had!!!
