My first visit to Lewis and Clark Caverns was back in the mid 1970’s. We rode an open car train up to the entrance. The park did away with the train a couple of years later due to safety issues. I remember how neat it was and how dark when they turned off the lights. I had wanted to take Brian and J…

We started the day out fishing on a chartered boat with a fishing guide for two hours. Justin was our guide, we all like him. He was profession and friendly. I overheard a conversation between boat captains, they keep a tally on fish caught between themselves. Our boat caught the most fish! Thank yo…

The big attraction here is the Grand Prismatic Spring. The best view is from an overlook located up on a hill. The trail to the overlook is long and crowded, plus it starts out a few miles away at the nearest bridge. One strange thing we all saw is the steam seemed to be different colors. The colors…

We took the North Rim Drive stopping at all the overlooks, at least the ones that were open. The views are different than the South Rim. I like the overall views from the South Rim, however you can hike down to the brink of the falls from the North Rim. The brink of the falls is the point where the …

On our way home, from picking up Brian and Jessica at the Bozeman Montana airport, we stopped at the Tinker's Hill cemetery. See 2019-07-20 Bozeman Day 1 and 2019-07-21 Bozeman Day 2. Outside of Gardiner Montana is their historic cemetery, Tinker’s Hill. I like old cemeteries, for me they are a remi…

We all got up pretty early, for our group, and headed over to the club house for breakfast. After breakfast We packed up the cabin and headed over to the hot springs. We stayed there until check out time. Jessica loves dinosaurs! The Museum of the Rockies has a very large display of dinosaurs. We co…

Brian and Jessica flew into Bozeman airport last night! We arrived in Bozeman earlier that day. Since Brian and Jessica we're not scheduled to arrive until 10:00 pm, it was decided we would stay the night in Bozeman. Brian rented a rustic one room cabin at an RV park. The RV park also had a hot spri…

We started out hiking the Biscuit Basin loop trail and ended up hiking up to Mystic Falls. Then upon our return from Mystic Falls we finished the Biscuit Basin loop. It was a good 2.5 mile hike. The scenery is incredible and the view of the falls is grand. For the young and nimble you can climb down…

Avalanche Peak Trail is rated as strenuous it is a steep climb to the peak. So I stayed home and Sandra took the kids with her. Mark…

I took the kids out to look at some potential fishing spots, we did bring along the fishing gear. We ended up not fishing. We found a nice stream to fish in but we did not see any fish in it. We also found a river that looked promising, but the banks were a little steep and I was worried about one o…
