Submitted by Meredith on Saturday: We started off the day by delivering our handmade batch of brownies to our courageous leader MacNeil. Then we drove our lovely white bus to the Roosevelt Lodge. There we started our two and half mile hike up to Tower Falls. We hiked the snow-covered road and made sure not to step in the cross-country skiers trail. On our way up we encountered three bison, the most dangerous animal in Yellowstone. After being escorted past the bison by our extraordinarily daring and wise guide MacNeil, we came across fresh wolf tracks. The tracks continued up the path towards the waterfall. Then we arrived at the viewing terrace to see the waterfall. The waterfall had an aqua blue shield of ice with flowing water visible underneath. After gazing upon that we quickly made our journey back to the bus. Next we met with Janine Waller at the Yellowstone Association Institute. We had a discussion with her about global climate change and its effects on the ecosystem. Then we took pictures with MacNeil in front of the Roosevelt Arch, before we parted ways. Our last day at Yellowstone concluded with dinner and packing for Big Sky!
Here is a slide show of the pictures the students took.
