Pix from Yellowstone National Park - South Canyon Rim Trail

382 stairs to the bottom of Uncle Tom's Trail.  My wife pauses to smile for a photo, our son tries to climb through the railing for a better look at the drop of several hundred feet!

There's always a rainbow at Uncle Tom's!

Upper Falls on the Yellowstone River - this is the view upstream.

Another look from farther down the South Canyon Rim Trail.

The trail has a few steep places and switchbacks, but it is smooth and level throughout.

One more look upstream...

A look down as the last light of sun lights the river up...

...and here is the view downstream.

I hiked this one alone, as the proximity to the Wapiti Trail, where the poor bloke was killed by a grizzly bear last month, made my wife and son bail after the walk at Uncle Tom's.

On the drive home, we saw the ever-present bison herd, which our son tried to stampede with his best wolf howl.
