Wednesday was another explorative drive around the center of the park with a tour of the Norris Geyser Basin and lunch in the Norris picnic area.  We hiked into the spectacular Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

The group picture at right was at Pearl Geyser in the Norris Basin

 

A bison was a surprise "guest" as he walked down the road next to our parking lot.
