Headed West

July 2024

A beautiful stay at Harvest Host Arcadia Moon Winery in Missouri.

This was our first experience heading out west and stopping at some of our National Parks along the way. Garden of the Gods was spectacular in Colorado Springs, CO.

We made our way to Cody, WY and visited Old Trail Town to check out the old western buildings including the saloon that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid frequented. You can even see bullet holes on some of the doors.

Among the other parks we went to we visited Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Glacier National Park and also made our way to Banff in Canada. It was stunning. Seeing the elk, bison, a bear and wolf in the wild was amazing. We also headed to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center where we learned about bad habits of people that make it dangerous for the wildlife. The mountains, lakes, geysers, geothermal features, and hydrothermal sites were unlike anything we have seen.

We also went to the rodeo in Eureka, MT with some of the Switch Crew.
