This is going to be another short post because Vanessa and I are on our way to hike around in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Our three days in Yellowstone were pretty amazing. We saw plenty of wildlife, including bison, black and grizzly bears, mule deer and pronghorns. There was even a close encounter with an elk.
We also took in the usual tourist attractions - Old Faithful, the Mud Volcano, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the West Thumb Geyser Basin, the Grand Prismatic Pool, and the Petrified Tree, which sounds a lot cooler than it was.

On Saturday, we did a 6-mile hike up Mt. Washburn (elev. 10,243 ft.). Our time up the mountain was decent, but not nearly as impressive as our time down. We made it back to the car just before a massive rainstorm with thunder and lightning.

We're staying in Denver with the impregnated Fuglers (http://fuglerfamily.blogspot.com/) for a few days. On the agenda is RMNP, a Rockies game (or two), Film on the Rocks at Red Rocks, and hopefully some Rocky Mountain Oysters.
More later.
