Morning Hike

Yellowstone, August 2014
Day 4

We spent the night at Indian Creek Campground.  We set up camp and ate fairly late--after the sun had gone down.  While we were cooking our food we heard several grunts and and shuffles, and we swear it sounded like a bear.  It had us pretty spooked, but by the time we went to bed all was quiet.

In the morning I woke before everyone, so I took a little walk by the river to capture the sunrise on the misty water.  It was beautiful, and on the way back J joined me.  There were a couple trails and we followed one that looped back to our campground.  It was so rejuvenating.

This was on one of the campsites near us.  A creative way to show the site is taken

We weren't even five miles out of Indian Creek Campground in the morning when we spotted a bear.  So, it was very probable that the noises we had heard the night before were from a bear--perhaps the same one we saw in the morning.  The bear was also headed away from the direction of the campground.
