Exploring the Lower Loop

The primary drive through Yellowstone is a figure-eight drive known as the Grand Loop. The first day, we managed to get about one-third of the way around the Lower Loop. A bonus day gave us the opportunity to cross the Continental Divide, and make it full circle around the lower loop, including Yellowstone Lake and Hayden Valley.
