Friday, 8th of June 2012 at 06:07:24 AMI would be only 1 day in Las Vegas but return later for another two days before my flight home. After the eventfull days in the Y.S.N.P. tour I needed some relax. In the morning I bought the obligatory Ice-chest for the car (Walmart 15.99) USD and bought the beveranges for the trip. Then I went back to the Hotel and its nice Pool. Its always relaxing drinking some beers (3) in the sun. Only two fotos shot today. The evening I prepared the backpack and the travel plan for the tour I would start the next day. It should bring me again back to South Utah. (I must admit I did also some shopping in the evening).

After a Starbucks drive through coffee breakfast I drove from my Hotel to a downton Parking Garage near Temple Square to stroll around downton Salt Lake City. I visited the Temple Square, headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is a lot to see and all tours are free and the employees very kind and explained a lot. Very impressive was the Conferecne center auditorium with a capacity of 21.000 people. There was the possibility to finally go up to the Adminitrative Building tower for a view of the city. I postponed this to later to have better sun for the fotos. I walked up the State capitol hill

Related Posts:Today I visited the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. First the South Rim Road with it’s Upper Fall at Tom’s Lookout and then the Artists Point with the amazing view of the canyon and the lower fall. 
I spent some time at artists point to catch the rainbow which is known to be visible at the Lower Fall around 9am. Afterwards I drove and visited all viewpoints of the North Rim road. Lookout Point is the one I liked most. Then I drove back to Old Faithful area to revisit Grand Prismatic Spring and then the Morning Glory Pool.

I left my luggage at the Hotel but it was too early for Checkin, so I reserved a quite room and decided to drive into the Park, despite the bad weather. I visited the Norris Geysir Basin and the Mammoth Hot Springs area, but due to the cloudy and rainy weather fotografing was not really fun. I retourned at 8pm in West Yellowstone for checkin and buying some food. Went to bed early. Here a foto from the first day. 
I regretted not to be like always in Nevada where wheater was more relaible. But the second day repaid. Summer arrived and sunny weather provided excellent conditions to enjoy the park and fotograph. I will only provide one foto of the Grand Prismatic Spring in the Midlevel Geysir Basin. It was necesarry to climb a small hill to do this foto:
