September 17th, Yellowstone – Day 7 (last day)

by Karen on September 19, 2007

in Quilting on the road

Tower Falls very steep trail, we use to love this trail and thought we would try it again, well we got most of the way down and found they closed part of it due to erosion but hadn’t put a sign up at the beginning of the trail to let you know. Mike did get this picture though from the overlook.

A mountain sheep, she is leaving the road at this point and heading down the cliff side, Mike managed to get this shot of her from the truck.

Another mountain sheep (a young male, the horns aren’t real big yet) with the big curled horns taken at the same place

Someone wisely refrained from going after their cap – outside the barriers, too close to the edge, and on unstable, gravelly soil. Just a short while earlier at a more dangerous point we watched someone climb over the barriers to get his hat, he was on the edge of a cliff side – and that was for a ball cap that probably cost less than $5.00 how some can be so stupid, he really could have fallen, at least he stretched out and was holding on to the barrier with one hand, but could have went over the edge.

A very twisted set of roots from a tree if you look closely you will see a rock that had settled in the middle of it.

another section of the downhill to the canyon this trail didn’t really take us all that long to do and I was surprised by that. I guess all the short walks that we had been doing was getting me back in shape and have been able to start doing more difficult trails.
