Out of the Mouths of Babes...and Dudes- John Bytheway

"I always wondered how people could say. " I love you" to people they don't even know, but now I realize that we all knew each other well a long time before. We're really just finally meeting up with old friends. "

Canyon Village

After Norris we traveled over to Canyon Village where there are upper and lower falls. One path to see the lowers falls is called Uncle Tom's trail. It takes you to the lower falls. It used to take 538 steps and 3 ladders but now it only takes 328 stairs. Easy right... I even got a little nervous walking down a part of them they were so steep.

Jason was a trooper he carried Hailey in the carry pack the whole way down and the whole way up. I tried to count the stairs on the way back up but i only got to like two hundred and something. What a great stair master!!Some nice lady took a picture for us there. It was so nice of her.
After we climbed all the way back up the 328 stairs we started to walk farther down the Yellowstone river to the artist point. It was sure pretty. The whole trail round trip is about two miles. We didn't go the whole way, but on our way back there was a family coming up with two strollers, but they were both double seat strollers. One had two one year old twins and the other had two little girls i am gonna say they were around ages 6-9. This was not a flat trail at all There was some good switch backs along this tail. We were impressed.
