One of our biggest, so-called adventures in Yellowstone was the Washburn hike. Surely not an extreme adventure, it was an all-day event that, after 14 miles, left us wanting to “be done” and just go home and crash on the porch. We left a car on top of Mount Washburn and traversed off the ridge to the east, scampering down a steep slope to the meadows below. Once in the thicket of grizzly bear country, we traversed over to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Then, an awaiting vehicle (a “beetle” likely referring to a Volkswagen Beetle) whisked us off to our cabin apartment. When one partner works in Bozeman and one in the park, it is nice to squeeze out small weekend adventures like this.
