    Upper Loop #2, Upper Falls, Yellowstone

    September 19, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Continued up the road to Canyon Village. Technically we haven't started the upper loop, at this junction we do.

    We didn't go into Canyon Village, but did do the South Rim drive of the Yellowstone waterfalls and canyon. Just breathtaking, I just think these falls, in the canyon setting, are more stunning than Yosemite Falls. We stopped at overlooks for both the upper and lower falls.

    Back onto the upper loop road, just as we were beginning to pull away from the canyon we were stopped by traffic, and that always means wildlife. We found a pull out and could see some prong horn antelope across the road. I got out of the passenger side of the Jeep to take a picture and ran into this little antelope right on the retaining wall. So cute, pretty clear he didn't quite know how to get across the road with the rest of the group. So he just kept posing for me! Took a million pics, plus video. Then a ranger turned up and asked us all to return to our cars. ( I did so immediately...)
