This one was in velvet. We were coming down the mountain and it blended into the scenery. We stopped briefly but needed to keep going because it wasn't such a good place to stop. Brady and I also spied something laying on a flat rock as we were rounding one curve. I think it might have been a fox. Wish we could have stopped to see. 

This black bear was wasn't enjoyed long enough but we did see it. Apparently we got there too late. Crowds were forming and traffic was backing up. We parked but after some time she moved too far away. Bummer.

This wolf was really far off in the distance but it kept looking back according to Brady. I stayed in the car with Hunter and the rest of my peeps took a walk some distance to view it. Hunter was cranky at the time and I knew he would have been loud and scare it off. I also didn't feel like getting out and walking so it worked out well for us both. We got out and viewed some horses who were being groomed and put back in their truck by some rangers.

Then I made everyone stop because I saw a sign for a petrified tree. I remember going to the petrified forest when I was little and loved it. I wanted to show Hailey. Unfortunately this is also where Jennifer lost hold of her new camera she was taking out and broke the zoom, etc. All I could think of was it probably wouldn't have happened had I not wanted to see it. It wasn't that spectacular either. Apparently there used to be three trees but over time people walked off with pieces of them. Sorry Jennifer. I hope you get it off to the repair shop soon.
