Beautiful scenery and very nice options for lunch at the lodge. I'm wondering how you're going to get all your purchases home without going over the weight limit (and I'm sure you're not done yet!).
Your teaser has me guessing which animals are up next...

Glad you found a good lunch option - I have read a fair amount about the Yellowstone Caldera - I use it as an example with my students of the ongoing volcanic activity on the North American continent.

Meeting Jacques in January 1976!! My first WDW trip.
I just finished up your last five updates and I absolutely loved hearing about your travels! The pictures are just stunning and I've learned so much about the National Parks! The cabin with the hot tub was so adorable. I've made note of the name of the hotel so that when my DH and I make the trip out there, we'll be sure to stay there!!! That buffalo on the side of the road was just massive in size! You really captured some great shots of him! Can't wait for more

Something to do with taking out four cases in total, but one inside the other ones.... and as we were lucky enough to be flying Upper Class, we had a limit of THREE cases PER PERSON! I somehow figured it would never be that much of an issue getting it all home....

Glad you're learning a lot about the national parks - we were amazed at how much we learned during our visits, yet you don't feel as if the knowledge is being stuffed down your throat, if you know what I mean - it's fun learning.
Friday 9 September – part five: I like seeing animals, but not that close! :
Then we moved on to Grand View, which I think was my favourite. The colours in the soil here were quite something.
The final stop was Inspiration Point and I had read quite a lot about this, so I had high hopes for it, but honestly, I thought Grand View was much better.
On the way out of Inspiration Point, we saw the Glacial Boulder...
Our next stop was for the short trail to Upper Falls and this was just an amazing sight. I feel as if I’m repeating myself constantly here, using the same words, but it gets to the stage where you don’t know what words to use, as everything you see is just beyond words. Here, you really could hear the roar of the water and imagine its power.
We soon found the beginnings of Yellowstone Lake and stopped at a picnic area to get a close-up view:
It wasn’t long before we came across a herd of bison, just happily grazing by the side of the road. We pulled over to photograph them, but couldn’t believe the coach party walking towards us to see them. I’m sorry, I like the idea of seeing animals, but not that close. As Mark said, “I prefer to have a tin car surrounding me with those things.”
Your pictures are stunning. I wish we had more time at Yellowstone to see all the different areas of the parks. You are so lucky to see that many buffalo. I can't wait to hear what all those people were doing, but you know with a crowd walking down the side of the road, it must something great to see.
Grand View is beautiful. That area of Yellowstone still remains in my memory (many other things are long gone....) as one of my favorite trips as a kid. Lots of buffalo! But now your teaser has me curious for the next update!!!

You're not the only one running out of words! Beautiful will have to do.
I thought of you yesterday as I was watching a show in the "Nature" series called "Christmas in Yellowstone". Wonderful documentary and it covered a lot of the areas you went to.... only covered in snow.

Laurie - thanks for the heads up about that show - I just added it to my Netflix queue.
Cheryl - as always, beautiful photos. You really should be a professional travel writer!
