United StatesWe did a one day stop so Alyson could get her junior ranger badge for the Tetons. It was a glorious day. Often the Tetons are hiding in clouds. Today was not one of those days. We got her badge, learned a little, had a picnic, the got groceries and came back to camp.
United StatesA seven hour drive turned to ten. We went through crazy wind and eventually came to camp.
United StatesI am so beat up after this day. This was the main trail I wanted to do here.It just opened for the season yesterday. We are still tired, but going for it. 11.8 miles of high elevation hiking with amazing views. On the way in the park, we saw a black bear. On the trail, we saw Bighorn, mountain goat, ground squirrels, and marmot. The views were not too good in the morning, but opened up later whenRead more
United StatesToday we did a little shopping, but really just slept in really late and read a book to each other

Today we planned to rest from all the walking yesterday. We saw putt putt in town, Adobe other games, and a ropes course.
We went to the ropes place first and spent 4 hours there. We all played, but Alyson and Bret spent the most time on the ropes. We were exhausted when we left.
United StatesWe decided to go back to the park, but follow our camp host's advice. We drove in VERY early. We were in the parking lot for avalanche lake at about 7:30. Parking was easy. The hike was listed at 4 miles, but was actually more like 5. The lake was crazy pretty. After the hike, we went to Sprague Creek picnic area and meet some Native People's doing a church picnic. We saw a grandmother beading aRead more
United StatesToday we woke with the intention of avoiding the crowds. As we entered the park, the line of cars stretched beyond the signage about the entrance station. The rangers were not really checking the passes. Ours could have been out of date, they would not have noticed. We turned toward the North Fork area and drove to Polebridge. We saw few cars. We stopped to pick huckleberries, them went to theRead more

We woke and drove to the park,
Crowded.
That's what we saw. I suppose it was no worse than RMNP on the weekend before the 4th of July, but we know where to go to avoid crowds in Rocky. We saw beautiful scenery, but parking was nearly impossible. We drove the length of Going To The Sun Road. We then drove Many Glacier. Parking was nearly impossible at all locations. We won't try again tomorrow.Read more

We woke to a beautiful day, high in the Absaroka Mountains (thanks to yesterday's nighttime escapades). I walked around the campground. It was much easier to understand in the light, but the signs were still bad.
I found the trailhead to pine creek falls. We are breakfast and did that hike. After the hike we had a 6 hour drive. It was miserable. It was full of continuous hills, curves, and crazyRead more

Today is a day to do the bulk of the drive to Glacier National Park.
We didn't really want a boring day, so we decided to add Devil's Tower to the day. We expected it to add 2 hours, but it really added more like 3. Alyson wanted to do the Jr Ranger program. It was cool, but made us late for the drive. After the tower, we drive like crazy. The road was not easy, even though it was interstate. WeRead more
