Mesa Falls

There are so many things to see here, so we decided to start outside the park first. Mesa Falls are the last two undisturbed waterfalls in the West (they say).

It looked like a miniature Niagara Falls, just without out all the tourism and the flood lights at night. It was a beautiful site, except for all the huge mosquitoes that just seemed to love me. Even the lower falls were pretty neat to look at.

On the way home we stopped at Big Springs, which is the beginning of a river and I really did not expect much, just a nice drive.

I am sure we will see more impressive "bubbles" in Yellowstone National Park, but is was cute. And then we found out that the place is know for two totally different things. First, there is the Johnny Sack Cabin, a German immigrant that build a cabin from scratch all by himself.

The second is the humongous trouts that are in this river.
