Shingle Creek hike

Saturday morning we took a hike up Shingle Creek.  This is my favorite hike in the area.  Below is a beaver dam along the trail.

Unitas Mountains Utah

 We are up in the mountains near Park City.  We have been here two or three times before and love this area.  The upper picture is Long Lake which was a 4 mile hike to.

This is Fehr Lake, it was just a half mile hike to.  Saturday we meet our friends in Park City.

Twin Falls

We are spending the night in a hotel tonight.  It gave us a chance to see the town of Twin Falls and visit the Shoshone Falls.  It was incredible.  Tomorrow we head down to Utah to meet friends on Saturday.

Three Island Crossing State Park

We stopped here for lunch.  This is the area where the Oregon Trail pioneers crossed the Snake River.  There was a great visitor center with all sorts of displays.

Cultus Lake



This was steps from our campsite on Cultus Lake.  We were able to get in a two hour kayak in the morning before the wind came up.

Lava Cave Hike

When we left Newberry Volcanic National Park we stopped by the Lava Cave.  This cave is a mile long.  We used flashlights but the also rent Coleman lanterns to make the hike.  It was really cool inside but as you can see we dressed for it.

Newwberry Volcanic National Monument

Well...we left the rain to arrive in the snow.  This is an area that we had never heard of before.  We saw some information about it in one of our travel magazines.  The area is just beautiful.  Very much like Crater Lake it is in a caldera but there are two lakes.  Paulina and East Lake.  Very forested and as you can see from our campsite.  This morning the sun is out but we are moving on to where we can use the kayak.
