Yellowstone Park: Day Four

Our last morning in The Fishing Bridge was spent working on this fort (above) which the kids had worked on during their mornings while we were here. I think it had been started by some kid in the past and was a work in progress by the kids coming and going in the Park. :) We noticed several of them around.

Randy and I got the trailer ready to go...


We headed to West Yellowstone. This is a place Randy spent lots of time at during his collage days. He used to work in the summers, logging in the mountains around West Yellowstone. We enjoyed driving around and seeing the places he remembered so well.

Here is the road he used to take out to his job/camp site each week...
West Yellowstone has a few attractions to enjoy. Here we are ready to watch an IMAX called Yellowstone. Randy and I had both seen it before but enjoyed watching it again along with the kiddos. Lita wasn't to sure about it though...

Then we went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. Here we are learning about them and their habitats...

Out with the bears...




And watching the wolves...


Back on the road again we headed up the beautiful Gallatin Canyon. We stopped in Four Corners at a KOA for our last night of the trip...
Lita enjoyed her swim that evening in the hot-spring heated RV Park pool much more than in Holter Lake. It must have been the perfect temperature...

The next morning we ate a quick breakfast and headed home. Back to real life. The end.

What fun. I bet you're all still talking about various parts of the trip. Love the picture of Lita enjoying the water - she looks much more relaxed.
