Our Day Hike In Wyoming

We recently spent a few days in Riverton, WY to visit our sister Cassie Black and her family. The second day we were there, we all decided to go on a hike to a nearby waterfall. It was a beautiful hike, as we walked along the river for much of the way. This hike was especially nice for me because I LOVE taking pictures of scenery, and here I was in my element! It was also good to be in the great outdoors--to take in the smells and sights of summer.

We started off the hike by crossing a bridge over the river:

Off we go up the mountain!


Scattered throughout this post are pictures of the river and falls that I took along our hike...hope you enjoy!


The family, taking a quick break on our hike:

This is a view of the whole falls. Isn't it gorgeous?!


Travis and Gavin taking a dip in one of the waterfall pools. It was so cute, because Travis went in first, and then Gavin decided to follow his lead and pulled off his shirt and shoes as well. This picture just captures the definition of "boys" to me.


Gavin enjoying the water. He is such an adventuresome kid!
