USA part 3: Yellowstone 1: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Oh, now we are even getting down to the second sub-level of headlines. Anyway, after Grand Teton we drove up to Yellowstone where we stayed for 5 days. On the way in we had the first encounters with wildlife and saw some geothermal features. This picture shows a Buffalo hanging around at a mud pool. It is somewhat ironic that buffalo beef patties can be bought at the shops throughout the parks. Yes, it tastes actually pretty good.
Our first Campground was close to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We explored it on a full day hike. The hike goes past a few parking lots which is funny, as these are the only places where one meets other people.
One of the first things we bought in the park was anti-bear pepper spray. Fortunately we did not need it.
The canyon itself.
