On Monday we took a day trip to the Beartooth Mountains. Since we have less-than-fond memories of our last camping trip up in the mountains (having their tent collapse in the rain and then half-freezing all night long didn't seem to add to Grandpa's and Grandma's enthusiasm for some reason...), we decided not to camp this year; just take a couple day trips up to our favorite spots. ;)
Our first stop is always at the lookout point to feed the chipmunks.

We stopped at several other places, including this big snowbank and "rock climbing tower"...
Lastly, we went on our favorite hike: by this waterfall.
As seen from the road...

True to form, we forgot the baby backpack, so little Leify got to ride strapped to my back with two towels and an extra sweatshirt. He very wisely went to sleep for the latter part of the hike, not wanting to watch his--as he thought--approaching demise as his bearer, Cecily, and Thor decided to take the treacherous way of hopping stones on the river instead of taking the "easy path" beside it. Dangerous=more fun. *nodnod*
Still, we all arrived back safe and sound, albeit slightly wet from rain and the spray from the waterfall, and with plenty of pictures of the breathtaking majesty of the Rockies. Surely the hymn How Great Thou Art must have been written up there...

When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,
Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to Thee,
How great Thou art; how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to Thee,
How great Thou art; how great Thou art!
