Since we got back and relaxed Saturday evening (which I think was the first time in almost 3 months that the 3 of us were together just the 3 of us on a Saturday evening), we decided to do a little hike on Sunday.
We had done a portion of the Hoodoos earlier in the month, but decided to do a little more this time, approximately 5-6 miles (I think). Snow pass starts up across from the Bunsen Peak trailhead and walk through a lovely little valley.
 |
| The start of the hike. Austin tends to start wearing Ilija on his back and then passes him off to me for a bit and then I pass him back. |
 |
| When you get around to snow pass (where an old wagon trail passes through) there is this seasonal lake. Just mucky now, no real water. |
 |
| Taking a look at the rocks. We heard and then spotted a little spring near here, next time we will need to investigate. |
 |
| After going through the pass, you round back approaching the Hoodoos and come across this birch grove. |
 |
| Approaching the Hoodoos, the weather started to change so we picked up the pace. |
 |
| Do you see the yellow-belly marmot? |
 |
| Taking a breather. |
 |
| All smiles. |
 |
| Crazy old vegetation. |
 |
| Hiking through the wildflowers and Hoodoos. |
 |
| Family shot. |
 |
| Hoodoos. Amazing geologic feature. There are approximately 25 acres of these in Yellowstone. These are toppled over, but they are formed by two different types of rocks where the sedimentary one wears differently then other rock types. |
 |
| Big Yellow Stone. tehe. |
