Returning home

As we began the long trek home, we stopped at the Clay Butte Fire Lookout, which was about two miles on a gravel road up to the peak. The views were spectacular, but unfortunately the summer days have been too hazy for us to adequately capture any of these views. Eric spotted several eagles nest along the way, and we even found tiny white dots on the rocky hillside that turned out to be mountain goats with the help of the binoculars. On the return drive we had incredible views of the mountain ranges, and (true to form) we got stuck in a buffalo jam in the Lamar Valley. When we were nearing our campground, a elk on the side of the road spotted our headlights and darted into the forest for cover.

What an incredible day!もっと詳しく
