August 29-30, 2018 Lander to Pinedale, Wyoming

Chilly at this altitude 7,950 feet. It was 44 when John got up in the morning. We drove the Louis Lake scenic drive through the forest today.

The view from the scenic drive of the Wind River Range. A small lake along the way.

 Fiddler's lake. It had some nice spots in the campground by the lake.  Cool rock ridge.

Wyoming from the back of a camper, bear warning signs. We hiked 4 miles round trip up the Middle Popo Agie river to the falls. That is where the Bear- danger ahead sign was. . .

John on the bridge to the falls. The falls are a series of many falls, very pretty. 

I think the trail ended here at these falls. John on the bench watching nature TV.  

We continued up another trail to this lovely fall and pool. We tried to climb up to see the upper  60 foot fall, but there was no trail and it ended up being too hard to get too.  

On the way back we drove through Red Canyon. the description of the canyon from the brochure-An iconic and photogenic landscape replete with sweeping meadows, sagebrush grasslands, and mountain shrubs encircled by the Wind River foothills and the striking sandstone bluffs. Offers one of the classic scenic vistas of Wyoming. The road and some horses grazing near Red Canyon Creek.  

Red Canyon view. Close up of the cool falls, mushroom, butterfly and deer.  

  

Dinner in our living room. We are now parked at Rim Station RV park, 30 mile north of Pinedale for the holiday weekend. Middle of nowhere and very quiet. 8000 feet. Supposed to be a low of 37 tonight Our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Our view from camp and cool clouds this afternoon. 

Beautiful clouds reflected in the bus windows. Sunset.
