lava creek

This morning we woke up to sunny skies and 60 degree temps. Sarah and I decided to hike Lava Creek, a short (5ish) hike that skirts the base of Mt. Everts. It didn't take long before we ran into this guy, trying to scratch off the last of his winter coat by rubbing it against a tree.


After about a mile we crossed a footbridge over the Gardner River,


and the trail followed the river


until we had a great view of the suspension bridge on the Grand Loop Road.


Behind us, we could see the red roofs of Mammoth (that's our apartment building on the far left, green roof).


As we neared the end of the hike we had a great view of Sepulcher Mountain and the Terraces.


Like all of our good hikes, we ended it with chili-cheese fries at the Terrace Grill.
