Yellowstone wilderness trek by Methodist camp group
Jeff Morris and a party of eighteen from several towns completed a Yellowstone Park hiking trek. The group split into two sub groups and traveled via West Yellowstone to Old Faithful then into the Beckler Trail area for hot pots and river fishing. Wildlife sightings included cougars elk black bears and other wildlife. They carried 30 to 42 pound packs and used freeze dried foods with blueberry pancakes and huckleberries enjoyed along the way. The trip ended with a return in rain and a St Anthony Idaho gymkhana visit. A BLAST worth the time effort and money, affirming Christian community and faith.
