We took this trip to Yellowstone and surrounding areas in the summer of 2019.
In the morning we headed east on Norris Canyon Road to where it ended at Hwy. 89. We turned north and began the Grand Loop. Our first stop was Nymph Lake.
On the way we saw 3 bears, 2 deer, an elk, and a bison walking along, or down the middle of, the road. This was obviously a wilder part of the park.
After getting around all this wildlife, we stopped to see Roaring Mountain.
The road through this part of the park was rugged and scenic.
We stopped at Mammoth Hot Spring and spent some time wandering around their boardwalks.
It was a lot of steps to the top.
But once up there it was worth the view.
