| DAY 8 | Second day in Bozeman | |
The Gallatin National forest welcomes guests to Hyalite canyon and 2 charming trails.
Our first destination, Pallisade falls, a neat tarmac path meanders through the lush forest.
The rushing falls are a cool conclusion to the walk.
We are told its possible to reach the top of the falls via a shingle and rock trail, we decided this was far enough for us.
A relaxing downhill stroll back to the carpark and more trails.
A slightly longer and more gravelly trail takes you to Grotto Falls , equally lovely, with a series of pools below.
Easy to see that nature regularly changes the appearance of the grotto with fallen trees, victims of the unrelenting spanish moss, which blights many of the mighty pines.
Back to the Saphire Motel for a spruce up and a stroll down main street, tonights destination, the Rocking R Saloon.
We tried the "flights" of beer, eliminating our least favorites.
"Party" was our final winner.
We had a monster pile of Nachos, with everyting on, and ice cream on the way home, another great day.
Thanks for joining us dear reader, goodnight xx
