HELLO TO EVERYONE......We woke up to another beautiful morning. I slept in a little while David took early morning pictures. We were able to extend our stay one more night. It is so beautiful here we hate to leave.

We walked back to Swan Lake and Heron Pond that are 2 trails right here at Colter Bay. The trails were great and we walked about 4 miles. Swan Lake was almost full of water lilies and they were also in full bloom with yellow flowers everywhere. We saw a beaver dam and a lot of Canadian geese.

We then walked over to Heron Pond, which was even prettier than Swan Lake. We saw lots of pelicans and even an osprey. The reflection of Mt. Moran in the pond was a beautiful sight. Of course, we also walked through meadows of wildflowers, lodgepole pines & spruce trees. We really enjoyed this trail. It was easy to hike and we were tired from all the hiking the last few days.

We took it easy the rest of the day and got some laundry and things done because we would be heading out towards Emigrant, Montana on Sunday to visit some friends we had met when they were camping in Louisiana this past spring.

However, we did go out wildlife viewing one more time in the late evening. As you can see, we spotted a cow moose on a remote road near the Snake River. David got some great pictures that he wanted to share with everyone.

Sunday we got up and got ready to move on, but first we attended the worship service at the amphitheater in our park. It was a great service put on by student interns who work for the park service in the summer.

We left the Tetons and headed towards Emigrant via Yellowstone Park. It was a beautiful drive again and we saw lots of elk and even a bear. The yellow wildflowers were almost gone, but David managed to take a picture of a meadow that still had yellow flowers as you can see.

As we left the park we drove through the Roosevelt Arch which was dedicated by Teddy Roosevelt in 1903. This is the oldest official entrance to Yellowstone Park. This entrance is near Gardiner, Montana. This part of the drive changed to a more barren and desert like landscape. It reminded us a lot of Arizona. We followed the Yellowstone River to Emigrant.

We camped at Yellowstone’s Edge RV Park. What a great place to camp! It is right on the Yellowstone River and on Sundays they have an ice cream social for everyone in the campground. It was all the ice cream you could eat for $3.50 and as you know, David loves ice cream. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting people from all over the country. Some people come here and spend the entire summer. Fishing is supposed to be great here, but right now the Yellowstone River is very high and swift so the fishing is not so good.

We will visit Castle & Linda tomorrow and then head out. We are thinking about going back to Glacier National Park because we hadn’t seen everything we had hoped to the first part of our trip.

We will let you know our plans as soon as we know.
