Mesa Falls

September 3rd Chris and I took a day trip to go to Mesa Falls. This is another place that people always talk about and we have never gone, so we wanted to make a trip to see the falls. We took the scenic byway and their were many stops along the way with signs and information. Our first stop was Warm River.
At Warm River their were quite a few fish that were making their way up the river, or maybe they just hung out here because people feed them. Here is an action shot of a fish getting some food in the left hand corner. I think he ended up missing the food.

Lower Mesa Falls. To the right of the falls their is a big rock face, we ended up hiking there after we had seen the upper falls.

View down the river, I loved this view, so beautiful
After seeing the Upper Falls we went to the visitors center and looked around. We then went on a 1 mile hike to the Lower Falls. It was a nice walk, I was a little nervous though because we are in the middle of bear country and their were signs saying that bears have been seen in that area. But we made it and I was relieved when we were back to our car. I don't like bears.
On the way home we had a great view of the Grand Tetons

We had a great time going and seeing the falls and we learned new information about Yellowstone country and how this area has formed. Such beautiful country that we are living in, however it would probably be better if we didn't have bears, wolves, and mountain lions to worry about.
