Rachael and I left town early Friday morning with the girls bound for Chico Hot Springs, in South Central Montana. For those of you that have not heard of Chico, it's a gem located in the Paradise Valley, near the banks of the Yellowstone River. Natural hot springs pools with therapeutic temperatures as high as 103 degrees are surrounded by the historic lodge and saloon. Established in 1900, the resort is a great getaway for anyone looking for relaxation, therapy, good food and a great saloon. Check out Chico online to learn more about this resort. We spent Friday night at the historic main lodge at Chico, and then headed for Old Faithful, in Yellowstone National Park, for Saturday night's stay. This is one of our favorite times of year to be in Yellowstone. We did a great day hike near Old Faithful, and spent a few hours fishing both the Firehole and Yellowstone Rivers.
The Firehole in particular is fishing very well right now. Fish were eagerly taking Caddisflies on top, and small Buggers down deep. Get up there soon...it's only open for a few more weeks, and there is no one around right now.
Here's a few shots from the weekend, including one of my daughter Hannah practicing her cast, and Charlotte checking out my loop...more soon!
