Tuesday was spent hiking all around the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. If you were unaware of this canyon as I was or maybe confused with the Grand Canyon in Arizona, read a little about this feature of Yellowstone. The Yellowstone River drops 308 feet over the Lower falls in this 20 mile long canyon.
Yesterday we drove the upper loop through Mammoth Hot Springs, checked out the Albright visitors center, and ate our picnic in the Lamar Valley. It was a long day of driving and to me it was more exhausting than a good hike.
Today we have permits to backpack into Shoshone Lake just south of Old Faithful. We plan to spend 3 days and 2 nights exploring the geothermal features of this area. We will give you a report on this area with photos when we return.
