Before we started this morning we got a box of cube sugar to feed the bears because we were told last night by the lecturer that we would meet the most today. Tonight our box (a big one) is almost gone. The first thing of interest that we did this morning was to cross the continental divide twice going in the same direction on a narrow one way road. Gorgeous scenery. At West Thumb we stopped at the store a few minutes and then went on to the Lake Lodge. It was a beautiful ride along the lake shore. After I got the pictures we left at Lake Lodge we went out to Canyon over the road we had traveled before. We stopped for lunch at the Canyon Camp. There were three bears that we photographed and fed. Then we went up the canyon to see it and the falls. More beautiful but not as grand as the Grand Canyon. Then we went on to Dunraven pass. It was a long steep hill going up and down we stopped at Tower Fall Junction and saw the falls and fed bears. I think they are the most beautiful falls in the park. It was another up and down mountain road with beautiful scenery. From there to bed right after supper. I’m dead!
Jane's Notes: I've acquired a guide to Yellowstone published in 1932, not long after they were there. It's pretty amazing. There were so few roads and none of them paved. It's interesting the change in attitude these days. They don't hand out sugar and encourage feeding the bears.
