While the daytime weather in Yellowstone was close to perfect, it was chilly in the morning and evenings; note the frost on the cars.

Tuesday, we individually drove up the west side of the park with lunch at Madison Grove.  We stopped at the many pull offs to explore the many geysers and hot springs. We returned on the same road stopping at attractions we passed up in the morning. 

Frost was waiting on the cars as we began the day.
Bill Johnson had arranged for coffee in the parking lot.
