On to Yellowstone

 After spending the night in Cody, Wyoming, Trish and I drove over into Yellowstone National Park yesterday.

This is our fourth visit to the Park and each time we stay in a different place.  This year we are at the beautiful Yellowstone Lake Hotel. Built in 1891, this is the oldest hotel in the park.  It was built by the Northern Pacific Railroad in the era when people came to the Park entrance by train and were then taken by carriage to the hotel.

Once settled, we drove up to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to visit the great waterfalls there.

We drove down the beautiful wandering Yellowstone Riven until it narrowed upon entrance to the Grand Canyon Of the Yellowstone.  Then the river is ready to produce the overwhelming upper and lower falls.

We hiked right down to the brink of the Upper Falls.  Stunning!  Then we crossed the river to see the whole falls from the other side.

Upper Falls head on!

Finally we headed in down the river for views of the Lower Falls.  These views never get old!

We have three more days here, so tomorrow we head for the geysers!
