Fri 8th Sept
After a really good nights sleep we were woken around dawn by a herd of wild animals in the cabin next door to ours which was out in the woods away from the main lodge. Once we were fully up and dressed we realised it wasn’t a herd at all but 3 children under 6 whose parents were very apologetic but seemingly unable to prevent the kids from bouncing off the walls of the cabin. Around 7.30am the dad took all 3 of them off for a walk and we shared a coffee on the porch with the mum who was clearly relieved to have a half hour to herself.
We were actually glad of the early wake up call as it meant that for once we were out nice and early and we managed to avoid the crowds when we reached the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone which really was a wonderful sight to behold. We hiked a little down to the foot of the falls and then found our way to Artists Inspiration before getting the car and heading out towards Old Faithful. Lots of Bison sightings en route. Fabulous day which will remain with me forever.
