Hiking photos

I was suppose to go on a hike today, but the ringleader canceled out.  There are still a few trails in this area I haven't been on yet, but I didn't go today.  I did sign up for a trip to Jackson Hole area and another trip to a Pow-wow in Cody.  the Jackson Hole trip is basically a shopping trip, but a few of us from Obsidian are going together and making it a girls day out.  As for the Pow-wow, I've been told it is the real deal and well worth making the time to go.  It is in Cody. 

Last night was a beautifully clear night with the Milky Way quite visible.  I didn't see it, but I heard it was great.  They turn out the lights in most of the parking areas to make it even better.

Attached are some photos from yesterday's hike.  As Than said, I could tell you they are from anytime as the trees never change here.  The majority of the forest is Pole Pines.  I did see a Yellow-bellied Marmot, but truth be told, I only knew it because folks along the trail saw it and lent me their binoculars, with good instructions where is was located.  Can't really say it looked much different than a ground hog from that distance.
