Tony, Mary, and Uncle Bobby headed out to the Lamar Valley to look for wolves on their last day in the park, before heading out the NE entrance through the Beartooths. Ilija and myself followed them out to Lamar but peeled off prior to the valley to kill some time while mom was working. We decided on doing the Yellowstone Picnic Area hike. I thought it sounded pretty lame but it ended up being one of the most scenic hikes I have done yet. Ilija slept through almost all of it while I enjoyed great views of the Yellowstone Canyon and picturesque views of Lamar.
