Scouting Yellowstone - Part II

Team Prism took another day to explore Yellowstone National Park for a few more scouts for possible hiking trips for our frontcountry camping trip with the eXpressions in Nature & Art Summer Program next week! This time, we tackled the following hikes in 8-hours and over 10-miles: Mt. Washburn, Mary Mountain Trail in Hayden Valley, and Elephant Back! Check out the photos from the day!

  2. Kelsey, I will try...but they are ridiculous! They live under my cabin and have ragers...sometimes way late into the night! Plus, they are only out for 3-months out of the entire year....weird species!
