It's a fool's pursuit to post photos of Montana and Wyoming because the scenery is so grand that no photo -- especially a tiny, lo-res one taken on my iphone -- can possibly capture the scale, the beauty, the awesomeness of earth and sky. But because I am still foolishly posting to this blog after more than a decade, here I go again.
Our first glimpse of the Tetons in the distance, taken from the west.
The rushing Gallatin River, between West Yellowstone and Big Sky, Montana, in the Custer-Gallatin National Forest. Noted for being one of the nation's best fly-fishing waters, the Gallatin was featured in one of our all-time favorite films, A River Runs Through It.
Horses grazing in a sunlit valley.
After arriving in the Bozeman area, we drive to Blackmore Campground. At 6600 feet, it was a little cold and wet, but also quiet and peaceful. The best part of our stay there was meeting up with Matt and Johamy for a yummy dinner and nourishing conversation around the campfire.

John loves his Sasha time!
Next stop: A warm, cozy AirBnB house in Bozeman, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks (Merchant of Venice on Saturday and Much Ado on Wednesday).
Did I say Life is Good? I hope you're enjoying your summer, too.
