Sun 20 - Lamar Valley and Canyon Areas

We started the first morning driving in along the Madison river, across the middle of the park, and up the east side to Lamar Valley. After a morning of animal spotting, including a visit to the daily Tower black bear jam, we headed back down to Canyon to see the sites. A few areas were closed for construction or winter. We then headed back over to Norris Basin where I took a hike to see some of the geysers. On the drive back home a pair of Grizzly yearlings crossed in front of our car.
