Leaving Yellowstone

After a long summer in yellowstone, I have finally come home. It was fun and an experience I'll never forget. Here are some pics from my last day there.



A pike. You can see him hiding in between the rocks in the middle of the pic.

Took my dad to the top of Mt. Washburn.

2nd-8th. Almost done.

My last few days here have been uneventful. Mostly filled with getting home from work exhausted and taking a nap, and waking up too late to do anything. Or having rain showers spoil good days. Only Monday and Tuesday left, then I head home. Can't wait to see everyone.

A fawn near the Canyon dorms, where I live.

The mother and another fawn weren't too far behind.

Suprisingly enough, the first rainbow trout I've caught up here in my time here. Fishing on the Gibbon on Wednesday I caught around 8-9 trout. Mostly brown and brookies, but by far my best two hours of fishing. Nothing as big as in Pebble Creek or Slough Creek though.

Today, Sunday, my roommate, neighbor and I hiked near Mammoth off in the Hoodoos.

To the right is Bunsen Peak, to the left is Mammoth and Gardiner.

Same thing.

We climbed up that.

Pretty awesome views, for a day that almost almost became a disaster after our original plans got canceled due to bear activity.


We climbed up that from the trail. Lots of fun.

26th-2nd

Over the past week, I've been working and doing some minor hikes around Canyon Village. Took some photos of the Tetons when I drove down to Jackson. Went camping the 31st of july to august 1st at Pebble Creek in the Lamar Valley. Caught tons of Cutthroats, all good sized fish. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were camping, but it was fun nonetheless.
