Saturday night was even colder than Friday's snowy night was, but it was clear, so after night in the car (the rest of the campground was amused to see 3 people climb out of a Mini Cooper in the morning), we woke up to a cold but sunny morning.
After a hot breakfast, we set out for the Firehole Canyon falls on the western edge of Yellowstone, yet another beautiful photo-op in the park. We were unable to go on the hikes we had planned, because the melting snow created a lot of mud and messy trails (not to mention the bear warnings that made some of us a bit nervous), so we spent the day driving around and seeing the animals, and finding things to do.
Most of the snow had melted before our picnic lunch!
Gull's Point and the museum at Fishing Bridge, and it's black sand beach, were some fun places to spend some of the afternoon. We also set up our tent again, and got ready for another chilly night. In retrospect, we should have spent another night in the car, but I was really hoping to stretch out again. Nothing like spending two nights in the Mini to think that sleeping in a tent in 25 degree weather would be an improvement!
