We are currently staying  in Henry's Lake State Park, in Idaho, just outside of Yellowstone National Park. We'll be making more posts specifically of Yellowstone soon, but wanted to begin with photos of Spring in the mountains around this area. It is still Springtime here, and the mountains are alive with wildflowers and newborns.
