Picture Update

This update is just to share some of the recent pictures I have taken over the last two weeks. Not much to say otherwise.

Solfatara Trail

On Memorial Day my friends Kurt, Maryann, and myself decided to do a small day hike. The weather was pretty nice, and we wanted to get out on the trail. The rangers told us that it wouldn't be too muddy, so we packed up our stuff and headed out. Here's a description of the trail: Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Elevation: 7,400 Feet Elevation Gain: 400 Feet Length: 13 Miles We decided to just hike about 6 miles of the trail, then trace our route back to the car. It wasn't the most exciting hike, but we wanted to take advantage of a rare day of nice weather. The lighting was really weird, so the pictures I got aren't the greatest but still are decent. Kurt Myself Maryann Doing a little trailblazing to find Lake of the Woods. Lake of the Woods Some flowers along the trail. Some weird fungus growing on a tree. More flowers along the trail. White Rock Springs. We could actually feel the water flowing beneath the ground under our feet. Lemonade Creek, named for the color of the water. Just don't drink it!

Jackson Hole

I apologize that it's been a while since I last updated. The weather has really restricted me to staying around the Old Faithful area. Two weeks of rain has made the trails unstable and muddy. The rain has also flooded all the rivers making fishing nearly impossible. However, I've been able to make the most of the situation. On one of my days off, I took a road trip to Jackson, Wyoming with some friends. Here are some pictures from the trip, which was actually back on May 26th.

My friend Susan and myself. It was a good chicken wrap..I couldn't put it down.

All real elk antlers in downtown Jackson.

The largest native North American bird, the trumpeter swan.

A female moose relaxing alongside the road.
