Mesa Falls

We are on vacation!! We are spending a week in Cody, visiting family. We decided to drive up through Yellowstone Park and take a turn at being tourists. On our way up through Idaho, we took the Mesa Falls scenic byway. It was beautiful. There are two major waterfalls which are called Upper and Lower Mesa Falls.


This is a picture up at the Upper Falls. It was really rocky up there and the falls were pretty far away.


Here are the Lower Falls. It was beautiful down here! The canyon wall at the bottom of the falls has its own micro-habitat with moss and algae that normally wouldn't grow there. And there is a constant rainbow from the spray.



View from the Boardwalk.



Matt tried to make a new friend at the visitor's center.


Well that's all for now. More updates to come later...it's time for me to play games with Oscar.

I hope you have a fantatic vacation, maybe we'll see each other again someday! :) (Ben and I are leaving for a few months, but we'll be back in the fall, we should all get together)
