Bruneau Sand Dunes


The day we decided to go to Bruneau there were thunder storms everywhere. Everywhere except the sand dunes.




We thought that it would be neat to slide down the dunes. It looks like it could work but it didn't.





Don't get lost.





Here Jen was showing off her acrobatic skills. Way Neat!

Hell's Canyon Days

Our trip to Cambridge Idaho



Hells Canyon.
The road to Hells Canyon is full of sharp curves and hills. I almost hurled in the back seat on the ride up. I think that is how it got it's name.




Rush Creek.
Not too far from Cambridge.



Beautiful sunset.
And a barn.



Crazy Cowboys.
This one decided to do a hand stand while riding a bull. He didn't last too long.

Glacier National Park


This is our two years anniversary. We took a trip to Glacier National Park for one weekend and hiked over 25 miles. It was the best trip ever.




Here we are in the middle of a 12 mile hike at Cracker Lake.









Here is Jen and the moose that we saw. You have to look real hard for the moose





And of course Me with a crazy stump.



We celebrated our 2nd anniversary this year on June 23rd ! Jarom surprised Jennifer with a trip to Glacier National Park, in Montana. We drove to the gorgeous northern part of Idaho and camped overnight before continuing our 12 hour drive. We stayed inside the park in the Many Glacier area in a motor inn. We had a small two room cabin without a bathroom, and freezing cold running water. We enjoyed “roughing it”. We were at Glacier National Park for three days. The park had just opened a few weeks earlier, there was still a lot of snow, but the weather was warm and gorgeous! We went on a small hike that first evening, and wandered around the area we were staying in. The next day we hiked to Iceberg Lake. There was still a lot of snow up there, so we didn’t get the full effect of the icebergs as there would be later in the season, but it was still incredibly beautiful. The next day we hiked around Sherburne lake and all the way to Cracker lake , we weren’t planning on going all the way up, but people coming down kept saying how wonderful it was, so we ended up making the hike, though we weren’t as prepared with food and water as we would have liked. The people were right, Cracker lake was very wonderful, with the turquoise, clear as glass looking lake. Along with the beauty of nature we saw all kinds of wild animals: moose, mountain goats, big horned sheep, deer, antelope, yellow bellied marmots, birds, brown grizzly cub, etc. We realized, after our feet and legs were sore at the end of our trip, that we hiked over 25 miles in those few days! On our way home we stopped at the capital of Montana, Helena, we looked around, had lunch and continued on our way. We took the freeway and drove south through Montana, eastern Idaho and back up to Boise. It was a Great not to be forgotten trip.
