We had breakfast at the Old Faithful Inn dining room and departed after watching another Old Faithful eruption. We headed back along the Fire Hole River and then Gibbon River, making a quick start at Gibbon Falls. Along the way we saw a lot more thermal activity this morning due to the increased condensation brought on by the cooler temperatures. Our next stop was at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where we had a distant view of the Upper Falls and a closer view of a couple of bull elk. Next we took a walk along the North Rim with beautiful views of the Lower Falls and a remarkable osprey nest atop one of the prominent rock formations. We had a “scatter lunch” at Canyon Village, where everyone chose their own particular eating place. After lunch we headed to the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, bypassing the Upper Falls viewpoint because of the traffic and limited parking. Along the way we saw several tourons (tourist-morons) getting way too close to a bison. We then reached Artist Point for one of the most spectacular views in the park — the Lower Falls and its Grand Canyon. It may not be THE Grand Canyon but it is definitely grand. We then drove to Lake Village for our lodging, again seeing many bison and, according to Marilyn, an alledged bear far off in the distance. We arrived at the Yellowstone Lake Hotel, a beautiful old hotel reminiscent of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Of course our accommodations in the cabins behind the hotel were slightly less elegant but perfectly fine. After checking in, we had a tour of the hotel and then a short ride to the cafeteria during a fairly good rain shower. Shortly, the sun came out again for a beautiful evening.
