Grand Teton/Yellowstone Trip Day Eight

We changed our schedule because we could not make it from YS to Salt Lake City at the last day. Our flight was 4 pm, if we started off from YS in the morning, we had no chance to do that.
本來的計畫是最後一天才一路開回鹽湖城搭機,後來發現一定會來不及,只好早一天離開黃石,看最遠往南開到哪邊。起碼最後一天還會有時間可以去鹽湖城繞繞。

We went to the other side of the Grand Canyon of YS. The Artist Point.


An old ranger told us the story of the Grand Canyon. 可能因為年齡關係所以他沒有配槍。大概就講些簡單的生成歷史,還有真的有人從峽谷上掉下去。


Lower fall. 前天是從照片裡的右方欣賞,這次換到左邊。沿途還有很多步道可以走,像是有個湯姆叔叔步道幾乎是垂直的階梯往下走,由於時間因素,就有待下次探訪了。


Upper Fall. Several miles away from the lower fall. 上游的瀑布規模就小上不少。


Bison on the road again.


Traffic jam.


A nice looking strong bison.


We happened to see a bison died in the middle of a river. The reason for its death is unknown. Maybe it was attacked by other animals. The ranger decided to move it because it caused a huge traffic problem. 倒在河中間的野牛,死因不明。

Entering Idaho.

Finally, we stayed in Idaho so that we can catch up our flight on time. 在停留的小鎮裡,還去鎮上唯一的牛排店嚐我們在美國的第一餐牛排。
