Homeward bound

After being frozen out of Yellowstone NP we realized that Glacier National Park likely would not be any more hospitable, at least until late July or August. We decided to head to Seattle WA to visit with family and went there via Grand Teton NP. While the weather in Teton was a little more inviting, it was cloudy the first two days so we hiked several of the great hikes. On the last day we biked a loop that included the roads through the park. We saw a lot bisons, but mostly just enjoyed the gorgeous scenery that was all around us.

While Seattle itself never seems to welcome us with sunshine it is such a beautiful city that we love it anyway and always enjoy our visits there. It could be the company we keep while we're there. We have such a wonderful time hiking with family. This year we hiked up to Domrie Peak. It was great hike with wonderful views of Mt Rainier and Lake Cle Elum.

So we reached the west! We also reached many of our goals. Along with seeing this beautiful country  another reason was to figure out our path forward for our next phase of life. But that is the Stoker's story, so I will let him tell it. For now we are heading east to St. Augustine.
