Our plan was to spend two days in Jellystone and 1 day in Large Teat National Park. We stuck to the plan but really should have reversed it. The mountain range is breath-takingly beautiful. There were plenty of trails to choose from, but given our limited time (actually our time wasn't limited at all and we could have stayed another day but I think we were ready to be making progress home at this point) we chose a fairly convenient and therefore busy trail.
The trail was only moderately difficult and it climbed around a large lake. At first we were passing descending hikers but once we reached some of the trail's highlights we ran smack into what felt like a convention of tourists. Mostly families, some with very young children. I couldn't handle the crowds and we started our way back down.
We quickly ran into a couple with two young children asking us if the boat dock was ahead. Since we were way above the lake at this point the answer was obviously no. Th woman was wearing the exact pair of five finger shoes that I had changed out of for the hike. I'm thinking it was a fairly uncomfortable climb for her and the kids looked like they were ready to call it quits. Unfortunately they kept climbing in hopes of finding the dock (which we found at the bottom of the trail). I hope they eventually came down.
After leaving the Large Teats, we drove through Wyoming towards Colorado. Most of it was boring and flat but there were a few exceptional sections.
