Sunrise over the hoodoos.
Brilliant oranges and reds as the sun climbed up over Mt Powel and hit the bizarre shaped sandstone shapes in the canyon. It was a great start to the day.

We took an evening wildlife tour in one of the park’s historic yellow buses. The wildlife viewing was fairly successful but the whole experience was really fun. The driver was full of information on the buses, the park, and the wildlife and the ride itself was classic bus-bumpy and mountain-road curly. We both really enjoyed it.
We saw black and grizzly bears, bison (lots of them), prong horn antelope, mule deer, a cow elk, and a wolf (more about her later). We got into a 25 minute bison jam on our way back to camp in the car. They just cross the road as they please and stand where ever they want whenever they want. We and many others just wait until they all moved on.

32 years!
We celebrated our anniversary with a walk to three different water falls and a quick look at the snowy peaks from Logan Pass. It was cold and windy up there. We didn’t stay long. Then it was dinner out at Two Sisters Café. Dining options are pretty limited here in the middle of nowhere but this café came recommended from the local volunteer hosts. I went Mexican, a spicy vegetable empanada and Kent tried the Buffalo burger. Both were quite good. We had to try their two claims to fame: wonderful margaritas and fantastic homemade pie. Neither disappointed
