Getting the kids out into the backcountry....

Wow, I realized this post never got published.  It was a GREAT DAY!

OK, two miles in isn't backcountry, but I can tell you not alot of folks wandered out our way on this day. In fact, we didn't see anyone except the two people fishing at the confluence of the Yellowstone and the Lamar.

This magic place for kids in the backcountry is about 200 yards upstream on the Lamar from the confluence with the Yellowstone. Only about two miles in, and our 3 1/2 year old hiked it all by himself. The 16 month old loved playing in the sand all day. Dad fished, and Mom got a little fishin' in, too.


Cruising down the trail.

Our piece of paradise for the day. Great spot for kids!


That's a coyote to the right of the rock! Who knows how long he was following us! Kind of scary when you think that the coyote could have easily taken one of the kids that was right in front of us.


Wonderful place!
