Pine Creek, MT - August 6, 2011

I took the opportunity to hit the trail while in Montana to attend a wedding. I set out to reach Pine Creek Lake high in the Absaroka range. I had to turn back a mile short of the goal as I was running out of time to get back for the ceremony. It was worth it nonetheless as the trail was full of lovely surprises.

Yellowstone National Park - August 5, 2011

Kay and I passed through the northwest corner of Yellowstone Park while travelling between Big Sky and the Yellowstone Valley near Chico Hot Springs to participate in wedding festivities for some family friends. The Park was busy but it couldn't detract from the beauty.
