July 5 – July 9
Staying at a National Forest Campground, Moose Creek Flat, along a river.
July 5 – It was a short drive from Bozeman to the campground. After dropping the camper we drove into the town of Big Sky and checked out the ski resort. Had some snacks and beer at the Lone Peak Brewery. Delicious.
July 6 – Drove up the dirt, rocky Portal Road in search of agatized petrified wood. Unfortunately we started looking a mile too early. I did find some interesting metamorphic rocks and a good chunk of agate. Spent the afternoon playing in the cold river. Then went back to Big Sky to watch some music in the park, The Quebe Sisters.
More amazing wildflowers and fungi(?):
July 7 – Matt went mountain biking near the ski resort and down the hill to town. Benat, the dog and I went on a hike to Osoul Falls. Beautiful 30 ft waterfall, quite wide. Finished the day with some beer at Lone Peak (they also had free wifi!!)
July 8 – Hiked the Beehive Basin trail. Amazing trail winding up a hillside through meadows of so many wildflowers and leaders streams. We turned around after a little over 2 miles but still got a great view of the mountain range. Finished the day off with some playing in the stream.
