Mt Washburn

 

Mountains to climb…

A Trio of Parks

 

Yellowstone beckoned next, followed by Grand Teton and Bighorn National Forest. Spectacular country all around.

Riverside

 

Fields of wildflowers line the Greybull River.

Ashen Trail

 

The hiking trail was a thick layer of ash.

Charred spires lined the landscape

 

Charred Spines

 

A forest fire in the summer of 2006 wiped out much of the forest cover in this area.

R&R Post-Meeteetse

 

After working a 15-day stretch in Meeteetse, it was time for some downtime … a whole week off – what a treat! Since there was very little free time while we were working in Meeteetse, I stayed on with Erin for a couple more nights, and we went hiking in the Washakie Wilderness in Shoshone National Park.
