SD/ND/MT/WY Thursday June 20, 2019


We had a leisurely day today.  Rather than hike another trail in the park, we decided to drive into Idaho and hike there.  We took a highway that followed the Snake River and ended up at the Palisades Dam Recreation Area.  It was REALLY cold so we used the bathroom and ate a picnic lunch in the car.  It was funny because both Nick and I came out of the port-a-potty saying, “that’s the nicest port-a-potty I’ve ever been in”. 

We drove a few more miles up the road and hiked the Palisades Creek Trail.  We just went two miles in and two miles back out and played “I’m thinking of someone” most of the hike. 

We then headed back to our cabin, stopping first at the Colter Bay General Store for some ice cream.

We hung out a bit in the room and then went to the main lodge where we were lucky enough to get an amazing table with an amazing view at the bar the Blue Heron Lounge.  We got appetizers and had a great time.  


And we gave a toast to hitting 40 national parks.  Only 21 more to go.
