raft trip
on the Yellowstone River through
Yankee Jim Canyon.
Inside the park, head to
Norris
for
another education in geology and supervolcanology. Then head to
Canyon
—check out the
canyon or the falls from another angle, or even on a trail like
Uncle Tom's Trail,
which will
take you to the spectacular
Lower Falls.
Wind up your day with a cocktail on the porch and
a relaxing dinner at the idyllic
Lake Hotel.
Day 9: Lake to Jackson (about 95 miles)
After a morning stroll at water's edge, head down to
West Thumb Geyser Basin,
an in-
credible selection of geothermal features. From there, continue south to
Grand Teton Na-
tional Park.
You'll pass this way again in two days, so don't feel pressured to stop at every
scenic turnout. Grab lunch along the way and try a hike along the gentle
Lakeshore Trail
at Colter Bay. Continue down to Jackson and settle in at the
Anvil Motel.
