We'll start the day with a morning yoga session before eating breakfast and packing our lunches for a day of sightseeing and hiking in Yellowstone National Park.
7:30 am: Morning Yoga
8:30 am: Breakfast Buffet & Pack Lunches for Hiking
10:00 am: Grand Canyon of Yellowstone & the Hayden Valley
Mid Morning: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone South Rim. We'll head to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone first to check out Artist Point and Upper Falls Viewpoint.
Early Afternoon: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone North Rim. The light is better on the canyon's North Rim by early afternoon. It's a one-way loop through the North Rim, so we'll plan on stopping at the viewpoints in order. Today, we'll see Lookout Point, Grand View, and Inspiration Point. Also, the Brink of the Lower Falls or Red Rock Point trails are great hiking options this day.
Late Afternoon: West Thumb Geyser Basin. After seeing the Grand Canyon, we'll head back through Hayden Valley to the West Thumb Geyser Basin, stopping to see Yellowstone Lake along the way, although this will add 1 hour to your time back to the retreat home. Also, time permitting, we'll make stops at the Abyss Pool, Fishing Cone, and Black Pool.
We'll drive back to the retreat home to freshen up before gathering for an evening yoga session, followed by a group dinner and free time for the rest of the evening.
6:30 pm: Evening Yoga
7:30 pm: Group Dinner
