Day 7

Artist's Point |
After getting coffee at a general store with very nice owners we went to explore the Canyon Region. The area was breath taking with two waterfalls and a colorful canyon that the Yellowstone River winds through. You could really see why this is called the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and why it is the photographed and painted the most out of any sight in the park.
We picnicked along the Yellowstone River and them made our way to the Norris Region. Once you got passed the sulfur smell there were many sights and colors to be seen. We walked along the Porcelain Basin where we saw lots of geysers, hotspots and mud volcanoes. What a different world.
Then we made our way to Madison Region to set up camp. That night, after bear proofing our camp site, we went to the Ranger Program about fire in Yellowstone. We learned a great deal, especially about the fire that happened in 1988, and how that large fire might not have been a bad thing.
