Well, the day started out a little slow, Dave got up at 8:15 and didn’t wake me until 9:00, 4th of July festivities must have taken its toll on us. It must have been too many hot dogs and ice cream. We finally got ourselves going and decided to go on a 4 mile hike, in the end it was about 4.5 miles through forest and up and down numerous inclines with a total elevation change of 500 feet. At times we were hiking at an altitude over 8000 feet. Parts of the trail appeared to be an obstacle course, which I tried to capture in the pictures below. The name of trail was Ribbon Lake trail; which took up past Lilly Pond Lake and on to Ribbon Lake. We also hiked up to Silver Cord Cascade, which we could hear it but were unable to capture a picture because we could barely see it.
On our way home we ran into a bison jam and it turned out to be 3 bison swimming across the Yellowstone River, what a site.
