Day 4 hikes to Indian Pond and Natural Bridge

Day 4
We hiked the Indian Pond trail today this morning.  We saw mule deer, chipmunks, geese and ducks. It was 2.5 miles.
Then we went and hiked the Natural Bridge trail.  It was 3.2 miles.  We saw a pair of marmots at the natural bridge.  Pretty cool as one climbed up on a large rock and then another was right in front of me when I was taking pictures.
We visited both the Lake Lodge and the Yellowstone Hotel.  I loved the Lake Lodge but I felt the Yellowstone Hotel was more hoity toity-  for the "Hamptons crowd."  Both were built in the early 1900's but the Yellowstone had been rehabbed in the 80's.
We bought lunch to go and picnicked at by the Yellowstone River.
