Yellowstone Day 5- (hiking, Yellowstone lake and more animals)

Day 5 we started off wanting to see a moose and we did (sort of). We stopped by the road where some people were seeing one. It was far away and none of us had binoculars on us or a scope so we tried to see it and couldn't so we snapped some pics and debated the rest of the day if there was really one there or not. Can you spot one?
Then we continued on to the Lamar Valley area. Where we saw tons and tons of bison in 2 large herds and a few here and there along the way.



And this guy hanging out on the side of the road.
Then we stopped for a little hike up to Trout Lake. There is supposedly a family of otters that lived there. We were hoping to see them. We didn't but the lake itself was beautiful anyway.  We did see some ducks and some dragonfly's on the lake and a couple water snakes.






After the hike and some lunch, we were off the Yellowstone Lake. We had some ice cream from the village and then took the kids to see the lake and play a little in the water.











Then it was another long drive back seeing more bison on the road, and more elk along the way.  We were all pretty convinced that we did not see a moose by the time we came home. But upon further review, Roberta was able to find it in her pic. There was indeed a moose!
