Vacation - Day Two

Leaving Logan, we traveled up Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway. Mile-high limestone cliffs tower above dense forest and the winding Logan River as you travel the scenic 40-mile route between Logan and Bear Lake. This was an awesome experience. There really are no words for how beautiful this drive was.

Here is a shot of Ricks Spring Cavern.

The cold spring water that gushes forth from the rock.

Cherry blossoms. These trees lined the canyon and scented it with a sweet floral smell.

Here is a hazy picture of Bear Lake. You are driving along in a canyon that comes up to the edge of the road and then you turn a corner and suddenly you see this massive lake. My husband first drove this canyon and saw the lake in 1962 in the middle of the night as he and other friends were traveling to the World’s fair in Seattle. Imagine coming upon this with moonlight reflecting off the lake.

Next we traveled down the Pioneer Scenic Trail. Here is a shot of Oxford Peak.
From there we drove into Yellowstone National Park. It rained on us almost the entire way after reaching the park. I concentrated on driving while my husband watched the scenery but didn’t take any pictures. He saw a moose, but I didn’t. But I did avoid running over a gray wolf. One of two that we saw on the trip.
