Thermopolis, Wyoming

Off-season gives us an opportunity to travel a bit.  Grant really wanted to go to Thermopolis for his birthday.  It is about a 4 hour drive east over Togwotee Pass.  We left Thursday night and packed it all in on Friday.  Petroglyphs, the dinosaur museum, and hot spring swimming made for a really fun day.

Ski Lake

Ski lake is a family-friendly hike.  Located about halfway up Teton Pass, this hike is accessible to just about anybody from the dog, to the baby in the backpack, to the visiting friend from Los Angeles.   Sarah was in town visiting for about a month.  We all decided to get out and enjoy the wildflowers and the scenery.   The beautiful wildflowers seemed to take our mind off of the persistent hum of just about every kind of biting bug imaginable. (and boy were they bad!)

more yellow wildflowers!

Glad we remembered the bug spray
