Steph and Ryan Visit!

The first weekend of August Stephanie and Ryan came out to visit! Their first day here we went for a hike around String Lake and up into the lower part of Paintbrush Canyon. The whole hike, we kept passing hikers who warned us of a grizzly bear that was hanging around the trail, however, we never seemed to cross paths with it.

We spent the night camped at the Gros Ventre campground down in the valley, where we made dinner and enjoyed a bottle of Ryan's homemade wine around the camp fire. The next day I took them for a hike part way up Death Canyon. They were able to see some pika and other neat wildlife of the area.

Their last day we woke up early and made our way up through Yellowstone for the day. We stopped at the hotsprings and visited the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
