Yellowstone July 3 & 4th

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!  At this moment we are sitting atop of a very large mountain peak at the East entrance of the park.   This spot is know for it's amazing sunsets, unfortunately there is a storm rolling over the horizon.  As we look to our left we see the Grand Tetons with the bright sun still shining down at 8:30 pm, but to our West we are watching a storm roll over the lake.  Great lightening show! We just had a wonderful dinner at Lake Yellowstone Hotel.  A historic landmark dating back over one hundred years to the stage coach days.  A great little parade came rolling by the hotel grounds for the 4th celebration.  I think this is probably the first 4th of July ever that we have not watched any fireworks.  The girls are fighting in the back seat because Sarah can't find her ipod. 


Look out for bison!





Just chillin on our last afternoon at Yellowstone.  Art's mapping our route to the next destination, atlas in hand.

 The horseback ride through the Canyon Region, went past Coyote Slide and even got to see a coyote up close, what an awesome way to end the evening last night.  This is our last night at Yellowstone.  Off to the Grand Tetons!  Until then, here are some more pics!
