Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge — Tuesday, Sep. 15, 2020

Eastern Washington > Spokane Area/Coeur d'Alene

Mrs. Geezerhiker and I headed east for ten days.  We stopped in Spokane to visit our daughter and her husband.  I hiked the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge at sunrise and saw three moose: two young ones and one adult.

We drove across Idaho and Montana to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park.  In addition to all the attractions of the park, we saw a big bull elk and a big bison.

We took a day to visit Mesa Falls on the Snake River about one hour north of the town of Driggs, Idaho.  The upper and lower falls are stupendous.

We explored Grand Teton National Park for two days and were amazed how close you can get to these magnificent mountains.

Finally, we drove the scenic byways north and south of Stanley, Idaho.  We saw herds of antelope of both sides of the town.

The weather was perfect every day!  The skies were clear, the temps were mild, and there was no smoke from wildfires.

We were in the right places at the right times, although Yellowstone Park was crowded.

P.S. My book, "Photohiking," is now available as a paperback at the Amazon store.  Give it a read.
