Another long but very satisfying day of beautiful sights, jaw-dropping landscape and lots more wildlife than yesterday! We drove the upper loop of the park, stopping at Canyon Village to take a hike on the canyon rim where we had amazing views of the upper and lower falls. We also hiked Uncle Toms trail which took us 500 feet into the canyon by way of a 328 step see-through staircase. The kids loved it, I white-knuckled the whole walk, but glad I did it. We have found that the drive out, from 6 to 9ish, is the best time to see the wildlife. We finally got to see a bear, about 100 yards away! We also saw a mama bear and 2 cubs, many bison, mule deer, and a huge grizzly (from a far distance). No moose :(. We are white water rafting today, a first for all of us, very excited!! We will post pics later, need a stronger wifi connection.
