Day 15 - Yellowstone

Today is Day 16 of our trip. We have an 8 and 1/2 hour trip ahead of us to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. I will post more later about this day. Yesterday was Day 15 and after a few hours in town, we went back to Yellowstone to drive the smaller loop. The entire park is unique and each area of the park has its own special identity. The smaller loop takes you to the north and northeast portion of the park. There was a boiling river (hot spring) that we wanted to swim in, but unfortunately it was closed due to high cold water. We did get to see a black bear and a grizzly bear with her two cubs. The sights on this side of the park were absolutely amazing. Actually the sights are amazing anywhere you go in the park. After making this loop and hitting a few of the visitor centers in several of the different areas, we stopped in town for dinner and headed on over to the local rodeo. Definitely not the big time rodeo, but for the money it was good. The family enjoyed it.
