Chasing the highpoints of each state are definitely something I do not seriously chase, with only Panorama Point (Nebraska) and Mount Washington (New Hampshire) checked off on my list. Much like the Colorado 14ers, I've taken a very non-serious approach... I'll do them, but they're not my focus of outdoor and adventure activities.

It seemed like the precipitation was holding off, so we quickly packed up the wet tent as best as we… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 4 – Norris Geyser Basin, Mount Washburn, Mud Volcano, & Yellowstone Lake
