Swan Lake Flats. There is actually a lake out there, but since we are standing at the same level, you can't see it, duh! Lots of water fowl hang out here. Never saw a swan though.

A pic of Bunsen Peak from the trail out. It doesn't look that tall from here, but the hike up and over was a bit of exercise.

Hking out of the falls was a bit easier than getting in. We avoided Bunsen Peak and went around the mountain for a bit easier hike out.

Me at the bottom of the falls. The place was really nice and cool after a long, hot hike.

The backside of Bunsen leads into the Gallatin River. It was a pretty steap hike in and out to go see Osprey Falls.

Some friends and I hiked Bunsen Peak near Mammoth. The valley below looks north of the park and you can see Mammoth and Gardner, MT from here.

Kayak training in the Grand Tetons. I was trying to learn how to roll my boat. Still don't have it yet! It's a wet escape for me if I get flipped.

The color of the stone really reminds you that you're standing inside a volcano.

Here's a small herd of prong horn, better known as antelope. This is the first time I've been able to get a picture of these.

Since there was no one to take my picture at the sign, I took Lucia's instead.

A coyote hanging out in Mary Bay. Tourist usually think this is a wolf.
