Back Country Day

Hi All,

As we mentioned previously, our fourth "work" day each week is Back Country, when we hike trails talking to visitors. 

Today we hiked the Death Canyon Trail to the Phelps Lake overlook. It was not too long, not too steep, just right ;-).

Great views from the overlook



We saw no megafauna but this wooly caterpillar was beautiful. It will morph into a yellow moth with dark spots.
Driving back from our hike, we stopped to help with several bear jams. The black bears are really wolfing down the berries along the road.

At one jam, the park superintendent, Mary Gibson-Scott drove by, stopping to say "Hi" and "Thank You for working so hard" . We told her we had the best job in the park!

Love,
