Cliff Creek

Last weekend we checked out yet another awesome spot in Western Wyoming 

within 40 minutes of home.  The Cliff Creek drainage offers a wide, willow-bottom valley

with craggy, wooded ridges all around, spectacular mountain views, a lot of solitude, and 

a lovely hiking/biking trail.

We love exploring these little gems!

Matthew got to go for a nice long ride on single track!

He was in heaven.

Looks like he was inspired and feeling artsy.

His ride up Cliff Creek afforded some sweet views.

On this trip we met up with dear Oregon friends, explored the park's Mammoth Hot Springs and

Artist's Paint Pots, baked in the sun, and owned the KOA playground.

There must be something very interesting in that hole.

 Technically we were violating the minimum-distance rule, 

but he was on OUR road shoulder.

Hugs for woof-woof.

Mmmmmmm

This bubbling, spurting, gurgling mud had all of us,

even Caden, giggling out loud.
