packed up and bfast in the cafeteria before heading north toward Canyon. stopped at a few small geysers along the way, and everyone was amazed. south rim was closed, so stopped at the viewpoints along the north rim, overlooking both the upper and lower falls. lunch at the Canyon Lodge, then cruised past Tower-Roosevelt, only stopping for the basalt walls and petrified tree. finally arrived at Mammoth, and to our room for the next 2 nights. quick stop at the general store and the visitor center to poach a little free wifi, then headed to Gardiner for a nice dinner. short drive back and to bed.
