Cody, WY towards the Grand Tetons

When we got cleaned up and settled at Cody, we went out and found some great buffalo burgers and headed to the rodeo. Joy had never been to a rodeo before, so it was fun to take her.
It was a nice evening to sit and watch the sunset behind the mountains. The rodeo was occasionally entertaining. I could have done with less clowns. Nighthawks came out when it got dark and hunted around the lights.
The next day we headed west towards Yellowstone Lake. We had skipped the West Thumb area on the previous drive through, so we stopped to take it in.

A nice massing of Monkeyflower in the thermal area.

Lewis falls was one of our stops on the road south towards the Tetons.

We also took a short walk to Moose Falls, just north of the southern entrance.

When we got there, some folks were swimming down below the falls. It looked too good to pass up. The falls plunged into a deep pool, and you could swim behind the falls into a screened off room. The water was even comfortable after getting used to it.
