Just a few days left in the park and Kristen and I headed to the west side to check out a couple of the "wetter, better" trails.
We would up hiking about 11miles, roundtrip, to Lone Pine Lake. By the time we made it to the lake, the weather turned a bit nasty and we headed back, making it back into town just in time for the rain clouds to let loose.

We started the morning off with the sighting of 5 moose!
Three of which were young calves, staying close to their mother. |
 |
| Into the woods where we saw three more moose. But these guys were big bulls, with huge racks. Picture-taking was less of a priority than not-getting-gored-by-moose; hence no pictures. |

| Lone Pine Lake, where once a lone pine stood. |
 |
| 5.5 miles in and somehow Kristen manages to get cell phone service. |
 |
| On the trail back we spotted a couple looking out towards the river, pointing at something... |
 |
| Another moose! |
 |
| A glorious west side day, indeed. |
