Lately our days have centered around work, work, work and then when that work was done, more work. We decided that the work could take a break, and that our family needed a bit of fun so we took our boys on a bike ride up the old railroad grade that starts at the Warm River campground (on the way to Mesa Falls). In 1908 a train would pick up passengers in Ashton, Idaho and take them to West Yellowstone, Montana so that they could tour Yellowstone. After the train was no longer needed, the tracks were removed leaving a nice trail.
This tunnel is about 3 miles up the trail. It was built because slides kept blocking the train.
Overlooking the Warm River near the tunnel. It is very beautiful. We love living in Idaho!!
Of course, the boys had to all throw rocks off the cliff and into the river.
We started a tradition when the boys were little. When Dixie would take the boys on trips to visit grandparents and cousins, she would always take a self portrait when we stopped for our little "adventures" along the way. This seemed like a fitting time to renew that tradition.
Who are these hooligans??
Lander soaking after our 6 mile ride. You should see the gynormous trout that were
swimming around. They looked like the huge ones that you see at the fish hatchery!
