Yellowstone Day 6

Breakfast and packed up camp. Went down (walked) to lake one more time to throw rocks. Left at 9:30 am.

Arrived in Yellowstone National Park. Tried Madison Campground at 12:00, but already full. Drove to Norris Campground and claimed a campsite (only a few left).



Set up tent and it started to hail. Visited Ranger Museum, then drove to Norris Geyser Basin.



Saw Steamboat - small eruptions. Rained on us a little and got Jr. Ranger guides. Went back to camp and kids worked on Jr. Ranger stuff. Drove to Canyon Village for supper at the soda shop. Visited Canyon Visitor Education Center. Drove to Inspiration Point (view of canyon) and Lower Falls. Rained pretty hard. Saw elk by side of road on drive back. Then saw large grizzly bear in a field. Walked across field and right across the street only a few cars ahead of us.

Went back to camp and watched The Incredibles in the tent. Went to bed.
