A spectacular trip--the grils and Dave went up a trail that went almost straight up at the Visitor's Center of one area???? I started but couldn't make it.

When we got home and got the pix back there were spectacular pix of the two girls sitting right in the middle of a large group of mountain goats! Everybody says Yellowstone will be the best ever. Love mom |
