The Snow is Starting to Melt


The weather has been really nice the last few weeks. Most days it is in the high 50's or higher and we have had a few days in the 70's. It gets cold at night. Usually the low will be in the high 20's or the low 30's. It has been interesting to see most of the snow melt away. We are scheduled to get rain starting Friday and may even see some snow. Last year the last big snow storm was June 13. Enough of the snow has melted and almost all of the hiking trails are open. Most of the hiking trails had been closed until Memorial Day Weekend for Bear Management. I guess the bears know to vacate after Memorial Day. Sunday, we did a 8 mile hike from the Old Faithful Inn to Biscuit Basin and then Mystic Falls and then returning to the Old Faithful Inn. We hiked with 3 friends and had a wonderful time. Yesterday Mary Ann and I did another 8 mile hike. We hiked to Fairy Falls and then to Imperial Geyser and back. We are both sore but are getting in shape and used to the altitude. Next weekend we have 3 days off so we are planning to drive the Beartooth highway and then continue onto Cody, Wy where we will spend 2 nights and do all the tourist stuff plus Mary Ann wants to do some shopping. Work has been good and we have been really busy.
