Part 1 [Introduction]
Back in late summer 2009, five of us friends got together and drove overnight to Yellowstone National Park. It was high time for us to be there. The place had been founded in 1872, after all.
We had two backpacking hikes planned out. We hit the ranger station and got our permits. There was no time to waste--we'd already put the trip off for nearly 140 years. (1872 and all.) We hit the Hellroaring Creek Trailhead post-haste.
No sleep? No problem! Hiking would keep us awake.
Part 2 [Here We Go]
Setting off on the Hellroaring Creek Trail. It would take us to the Yellowstone River Trail, and to the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River.
The Yellowstone River in the distance.
