Eagles, Sea Otters, Waterfalls and Tetons

Our last day in Island Park we walked the trail along the Coffeepot at Henry's Fork River.
It starts as a gentle, wide river and we turned around at 
Coffeepot where the river narrows and large rapids appear.

Along the trail we saw the craziest mushrooms, a pelican, a river otter and a bald eagle in the tree right in front of us! When it saw us, it flew away, but had a trout in its talons! So cool!

Later on the way back, we saw more bald eagles with more trout. It was super exciting. 




Goodbye cabin! Michael and Katie have done an amazing job at renovating this little cabin! 
It's so comfortable, new and clean inside with the most efficient uses of space!
They are so talented!


We stopped at Mesa Falls on the way home. It was a mile walk down to the Upper Falls since they weren't technically open for the season. But it was worth it!



Lower falls are viewed from high above.


The drive home was beautiful. We listened to different podcasts again which sparked a lot of good conversation. And both ordered fried shrimp, fish and tater tot baskets at the Frostop Drive-In!
Total road trip food.


The Tetons in the distance are so spectacular!


 When we got home we saw that Nick and friends had added to the hammock bunkbeds.
And would you believe that later they added one more where that top of that ladder extends to?
Chris tried it out and said it was terrifying. So yeah, it's coming down.
