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…

You are going to have to ask Sandra about her hike. I do know that on the way to drop her off we saw a herd of Bison resting around the hot springs. We all thought that was amazing to get to see. Mark…

I was a nice hike steep enough to be some what of a workout and not to steep to beat my knees up to much. The views…

We did stop by and visit the Gardiner community library, it is quite small. They do have a pretty good collecti…

Sandra and the grand kids hiked the south rim trail up to the point. Where we ate lunch. Sandra and Nickoli finished …
