Mill Creek Yurt II

We were lucky enough to be able to head up to the Big Water Yurt once again. This time we caught a day of bright sun & the next with fresh snow! We managed to survive the -6 degree temps overnight...frosted door handles, toilet seats & all. Another great adventure for sure, we even saw a large male Elk on our way back down...a little too close for comfort & boy did he have a rack to be jealous of!



Heading up once again....


Jeremy's dad Emmet was able to join us too!

What fun! I can't believe that picture of the moose. Wow, so close! The trip into the yurt looks amazing and what gorgeous weather. Couldn't ask for better. :)
