Friday we went on a drive with Ms Kristie’s dad, Mr Bruce. He used to be a tour guide for Yellowstone, so he knew a lot about the park. He mostly talked about the hydrothermal features of the park. These features are the result of a millions of years old volcano that covered pretty much […]

This week we were at Yellowstone and we saw wolves. We drove to the best spot to see them and we found them. We had a great time watching the wolves. We couldn’t get the best view because it was a few miles (maybe one or two) away but we could see a pretty good
Those who know us well, know we enjoy coffee. Now, we don’t enjoy coffee the way normal people enjoy it. We need it to have been roasted within the past week, be a light to medium roast, and single origin beans. Then it has to be made in a pour over method with a paper

So proud of this family today! They crushed our Tetons goal hike climbing almost 3000 feet vertical on an 11 mile trail. A bit longer than it should have been because of a parking area full of people doing less ambitious hikes. The Jenny Lake hike was a great buildup for this one. Spectacular views
We have a few hikes planned in Canada that are many more miles than we are accustomed to, so we are trying to go on increasingly longer hikes now. Today we packed up our camelbacks and headed to Jenny Lake after attending a morning ranger talk at Jackson Lake Lodge. The talk was more of

Our first full day in Grand Teton National Park was started with a two hour ride through miles of park land via horseback. This was a Christmas present from Chris’s parents that we have been anxiously awaiting for 6 months! The other couple that was scheduled for our tour did not show up, so the

Note 📝: Half of this post has been translated from the fish language. The large fish swam toward the big, red, large, thing in the water. This was rather common, every once in a while a red thing was pushed into the water. The fish swam a little closer to the blurry, gill-less not fish.
