June 14, 2016 Tuesday

We traveled back to the Canyon Village to see the north rim we were not able to see on Monday, June 13, 2016.  We traveled toward Norris and then cut through to the Canyon Village to make a full loop today around the north side of Yellowstone.  We saw the north rim of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  Went to the Canyon Village and walked around the shops and visitors center and then headed to the Mammoth Springs Area to visit the Albright Visitor Center and the Mammoth Springs which are all right together along with Fort Yellowstone.  We were hoping to see moose on the way from the North Entrance to Norris but that did not happen.  We did see a black bear in the park today but he or she was laying down taking a nap and would not raise up for photos.  So we did not take any because she or he was laying next to a log and the photo would not have shown it anyway.
We had a good day and a lot of fun seeing all the canyons and water falls.  We went high in elevation today also.  So far there was still snow in some places.

Ok here are the photos that we took.  I cannot put all of them on here because we took over 125.
You will see a nest of the Osprey that live around the canyons.  See if you can spot it.
The photos are in the reverse order from the way we saw them and took the photos.  These photos that appear next are from our last stop.  They are of the Mammoth Springs, and the high photo of the area surrounding the visitor center at Albright Visitor Center.  You can see the building at Fort Yellowstone to the right in the photo

These are photos of the geysers at Mammoth Springs

In the bottom photo is the Fort Yellowstone buildings.  They were built for the Army in the 1880's and are still in use today.  All the ones with the red roof to the right in the photo.

Now the two Elk were taking a nap and were pissed off that we woke them, it appears.  They were laying around the Post Office at the Visitor Center.

These are photos of  Albright Visitor Center

This is the nest of the Osprey

This is the river that runs through the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

This is a different water fall than in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  It is in the beginning of the canyon however.

The above photo is the walls of the canyon and made of course of rocks.  Some of the rock people this is for you (Marie).

The above and below photos are of the falls in the canyon.

The above photo is my personal favorite of the day!!

You rock people blow this up and look at the tree growing out of the rocks!!

The end!!
