As usual, the day is sunny. I think we've only had a little rain one night. We got up early to go on a scenic float trip with 12 others. We went down to Deadman's Bar and launched into the Snake River. It was interesting to see how many times the river has changed the direction of the current due to trees and rocks being in the way. The trip provided beautiful views of the Tetons and we also saw 2 pair of nesting eagles and some osprey.
It was kind of scary to sit in a boat that hits the bottom and floats very quickly around the river. We had a great guide that navigated the river well. We had to be careful because if we sat back to far, we could fall in. The water is only 40 degrees right now and a little high. The current is also fast. Amanda only felt comfortable sitting on the floor of the boat. This was the boat we took.
The views from the boat were amazing. And I'm feeling a little sad today because we leave here tommorrow. We're going into Yellowstone for some more fishing again tommorrow and staying in West Yellowstone, Montana tommorrow night. From there we'll head down to Moab, Utah to see the Canyonlands National Park and the Arches National Park. We now have a passport that we get stamped in the parks (Ryan & Jen, I bought one for your family because I know it is something you'll love to do). We're hoping to do all of them in our lifetime. I will miss the mountain views and the wildlife we've seen! This is a picture taken from the trip this morning.
