Today we headed north on the
scenic Chief Joseph Highway.
This was the route Chief Joseph led his people
trying to escape the US Calvary and captivity on a reservation.
It was breathtaking.
Fun winding roads
and beautiful mountains, hills, and trees
We followed the Shoshone River and its rapids
It was a LONG way down!
Whoa!
Jack and Grandma stayed a bit back
(they aren't fans of heights)
Grandpa and I got up to the edge
The Reed men
The happy grandparents
Nice shades, Beck!
We wondered further,
stopping to take some pictures,
check out the sights,
meet the wildlife.
At Dead Indian Pass,
Jack met a chipmunk.
Hello, there!
The higher we got
(we're about 10,000 feet now),
the colder it got
And the snowier!
Here it is, June, and they still have
over 6 feet of snow on the sides of the road!
It was brisk and beautiful!
Did we mention it was Father's Day?
No better way to spend it!
There was so much snow,
we even saw people snowboarding!
(see the dot in the middle--
it was a loooong way down!)
We finally reach Beartooth Mountain
Wow.
It was worth the drive.
Perfect place for a family pic
We went all the way to Montana
And now we're beat.
Once back at the cabin,
we cooked some dinner
went for a hike
and enjoyed the moment
And to top of this day,
we had a bonfire and...
...s'mores!
Another 10 of a day.
