Mesa Falls

The first stop of your Yellowstone Adventure was at Mesa Falls outside of Island Park Idaho. The falls were very beautiful. We stopped at distant vantage point and looked at the falls from above, the kids were excited because we saw a couple of Marmonts, we also got eaten alive by mosquitos so we were back at the cars pretty quickly. We then went down the road to the very top of the falls, it was gorgeous. The Falls fall for quite a distance, land in a pool and then fall again over a smalller falls. There was this beautiful mist that ascended up from the bottom of the falls and then there was this green mold covering the rocks that surrounded the falls and the pool below. It was very very breathtaking.

I just loved the flag in the foreground with the beautiful mist coming up behind

I loved the contrast of the mist with the beautiful green of the moss on the rocks

What is it about falling water that is just breathtaking

The little boys, they are all a year apart and they had so much fun playing together
