Day 12

We had a HUGE breakfast of eggs and Snake River trout!  Lunch packed and water to spare, we headed out for a huge hike.  The plan was to hike to Hermitage Point 8 ½ miles…past Heron Lake and Swan Lake to a peninsula out on Jackson Lake.

 

The hike was amazing!  We didn’t quite make it to Hermitage point but we made it past the two lakes.  It took about four hours.  We headed back to the marina at Colter Bay to have a picnic lunch.  We then headed out to do another two mile loop around an island in the bay.  Throughout the day we were swimming and hiked over 6 miles.  It was a FULL day of adventures and we were all looking forward to dinner and a soft bed.

 

It is only 8:15PM and I am doing everything in my power to stay awake to finish this entry.  We had Frencs for dinner and the kids CHOWED some mac & cheese.  We have the heat set for 65 tonight…I am sure it will be another cold one!

We head into Yellowstone tomorrow.  It may be three days before we are able to enter our latest adventures.  Hope to see Old Faithful erupt tomorrow and much, much more...Good night!
