A great day for a hike

Today we decided to go and visit Mesa Falls up near Island Park, ID. This is a very beautiful area just outside of Yellowstone and the Tetons. There was still patches of snow in some spots, which was okay because it was about 70 degrees! I don't think we could have asked for a better day to go hike around up there. 

This is the Upper Falls. It's huge! There is a wood-plank deck that lets you walk right around the falls and lets you get really close. 

This is the mist from the falls floating towards the trees above the falls. There is actually a microclimate there that is something very unusual due to the constant mist considering it's in a tundra-like area. 

We went with some friends from our ward, the Stevenson family. 

Here is Mal's belly shot for the week. This was actually taken at the Lower Falls, which are a bit more unique because you can hike down to a spot where you find yourself right next to the heart of the falls.

This is where the Lower falls begin. 

Again, where the Lower falls begin. 

Mal, always lookin' good! I couldn't really get a picture to do the Lower falls justice since we were so close. So I uploaded a video below that should give you an idea of what we were looking at. There was so much mist!
