Here we are near the summit in the Monte Cristo Range.
A puffy plant. Wildflowers were still in bloom, but this is a reminder that fall isn't too far away.
Chieko tried to blow the plant like a dandelion, but these seeds hung onto their stem.
Near the summit, we got stuck in a repaving project.
Here's the finished road.
Unfortunately, they used a chip-seal process, which is basically loose gravel and crushed rock with a layer of oil sprayed over it. This is a cheap way to redo the road, but it makes a terrible surface for bicyclists, and this is or was a popular bike route.
Here's Bear Lake from above some farms in Lakepoint. The lake was a beautiful turquoise today.
We stopped in Garden City for a famous Bear Lake fresh raspberry milkshake. That's what Chieko has in her hand.
Chieko had just said, "We haven't seen any animals today," when this young deer popped out of the trees in the Monte Cristo campground.
What is wrong with this picture? Considering who it is, it isn't unusual.
Near the bottom of the canyon, we saw a family of wild turkeys, two adults and four young ones. This picture shows the two adults.
These are two of the babies.
