What a weird couple days!

It got pretty cold yesterday, all clouds until sunset and then the fog glowed with the various colors, spectacular!

49 quickly turned 34 and we had .35” of rain over the course of the day. Now it's sunshine, blue skies, and a bit on the windy side.

Lichen arrangement, eat your heart out Martha stewart! Living in the park has its own challenges, like not having bouquets or being able to pick flowers.
Rainbow Falls trail will be closed Mon-Thurs for the next several months so the fantastic team that improved Alum can get started on busting up rocks and other fun things.

Bullhead is still closed and will be for a while.

Trillium is open and will be all year but please, PLEASE be considerate of our llama truck and trailer and the llamas themselves in both the parking lot and on trail.

We have some boys in training so giving them space is greatly appreciated, follow the directions of the wranglers!

If you do have to park up the road and not in the parking lot please ensure that there is enough room for their trailer to get through.

After a hot day of hiking nothing's worse for llamas than a traffic jam!

They'll be up Mon/Wed/Fri this week.

Happy hiking!

So, living in the park actually has a downside--you can only woo your love with fungi.

I'm itching so bad for a hike on Leconte, I torture myself every morning by reading the blog. John your doing such a great job this year, especially with the pictures. How in the world is the NOC in town managing without you. Boy some cafe du monde coffee and beignets on the back porch, can't go wrong there.

LOVE the blog!!! It is the first thing I look at every morning with my morning coffee. Also every day I check the crew page for the "2017 crew photos coming soon ". I know that you guys are very busy, but I sure would like to "meet" the crew. I will keep checking. Best always!!!

Martha Stewart could never match that. That is real nature beauty. Keep up the good work on making it naturally beautiful. And also you know what you can do with those drones, they ruin the peaceful and beautiful time in the mountains. The younger generation don't think like us seniors. That's a shame.

The lichen arrangement actually looks quite nice! The photo immediately caught my eye when your webpage opened up. The natural wood stump, paired with the grey/green of the lichen and twigs arranged in what appears to be a mercury glass vase, and sitting up against the log cabin with the faded red floral curtains in the window......very nice! I'm not kidding or being sarcastic. I honestly like it! Have a beautiful week!
