Returned from Yellowstone!

We've returned from our Yellowstone trip. We had a great time. Here's a quick rundown of the trip... We drove from home to Salt Lake, stayed the night, and headed to Jackson Hole the next day. We camped two nights in Jackson along the snake river - like 10 feet from it - boy was it noisy!! We took a rafting trip down the snake river.. some pics are here... http://snakeriver.elevationimaging.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?&category=688364

We also went out to eat at the Gun Barrel where I dined on Buffalo Prime Rib - yum. We then headed on to the Tetons and stopped at Jenny Lake and took a boat ride across and hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. Then we made our way to Yellowstone and camped there for five nights. We checked out Old Faithful and Lower Geyser basin, Grand Prismatic Spring, hiked to Fairy Falls, hiked to Mystic Falls, drove through Hayden Valley, checked out Tower Falls and Mammoth Hot Springs, and hiked around the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The amazing thing was all the wildlife we saw. In one hour we saw 5 Bears!! One Black bear along side the road, a mother black bear with two cubs in a valley, and a Grizzley bear just 50 yards off the side of the road. While hiking back from Fairy Falls, we watched an Osprey catch a fish from the Firehole River, just 20 yards from us. Check out the following clip of some bison fighting near our car, I would have kept filming, but someone told me to drive away before they got too close.
