Day 16 – Northern Yellowstone National Park, Canyon Campground

August 12, 2013

Today was an exhausting day; the boys were stroppy and difficult most of the day. On the bright side, we saw the beautiful sites of northern Yellowstone. From the hike around Tower Falls



(the rest of the family took the unofficial trail down to the river -- I took photos),

to the interesting white and orange travertine terraces of Mammoth Falls and River,

and finishing with huge open valleys around Norris,

where we spotted bison and elk.

We pulled into our new campsite in Canyon for a lovely fireside meal of rack of lamb grilled over the fire. It helps to eat really good food while camping!
