4-Wheeling at Island Park

Our vacation group loved going 4-wheeling the second day we were there. Kossins had 4 machines for us to use, so that meant we needed to rent another one. Glen and I took care of getting the rental machine and were ready to join the group when they were gassing up for the big adventure.




We took off on the trail and then the road that took us to Mesa Falls.


Here are the men standing in front of the Inn at Mesa Falls--Bruno, Glen, Lane, Rick and Grant.


And here are the women posing on the trail leading down to the falls--Debi, Diane, me, LaVona and Colleen.


The trail came out at the top of the falls and we walked on a boardwalk down a path so we could get different angles of the breathtakingly beautiful view of the falls.






Our other meal assignment for the vacation was providing the sack lunch for the outing that day. We ate our sack lunches at a picnic area near the falls. The guys then had fun finding the helmets that they had hidden in the bushes so we didn't have to carry them everywhere we went--kind of like going on an Easter egg hunt.



It turned cold and started to rain a little. I was glad we had brought our coats to keep us warm and was happy we had worn bandanas to keep the dirt out of our nose and mouth and was especially thrilled that my helmet had a face guard to protect against the gigantic bug that hit and splattered on it.




We saw moose while on our ride and we definitely saw some beautiful country everywhere we went.

I instantly thought of the movie Wild Hogs (I think we even watched this together one Sunday night) when I saw these pictures. Glad to see you are becoming even more adventurous! The views were stunning - maybe Bruno will let us come next year? Glad you had such a blast G&K!
