Star Plunge, Thermopolis, WY

One of our favorite places in this part of Wyoming. It was relaxing and refreshing today too! Not a lot of photos- water and phones don’t get along.

The big water slide was open.

That’s Ali. 

They went on both big slides, the high dive, played pool basketball, and took their new shark friend for a swim. (We rescued him from the beach at Lake Cascade)

Chillin’ in tubes.

The tubes were a good purchase!

Dead Indian Overlook

On the Chief Joseph Highway. It’s part of the route that the Nes Perz followed trying to escape from the is soldiers. We have see a lot of the trail and sites over the years.

Another great road!

Clark’s Fork

This bridge goes over Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone River. The water cascade is nice- in most spots you can hear it but not see it since the gorge is so deep.

Rematch

Snowball fights are a theme in these trips. Jim an Sam usually have a good rivalry. This year Sam has had a few snowball mishaps so this was her opportunity for a rematch.

The taunting begins...

She didn’t drop this one!!

Can we come back on a motorcycle?

Ali’s question to Jim on all of these roads!

Top of the World

Welcome to Wyoming

Sort of... there is no sign.

The Bear’s Tooth

The bear tooth is the rock spire/ mountain in the distance. It’s difficult to get a good view- the road is too narrow and winding to pull over at the best spot.

Wildflowers

We had to stop for the view and the amazing tundra flowers.

The Beartooth Pass

Steep and winding through the rugged mountains, it’s one of our favorite routes. By far the best way to get from Montana to Wyoming. There are turnouts and lookouts along the way.
