Day 5: Sun Valley! We leave the wilderness and make our way to the beautiful valley of the sun.












Snow falling from the sky! Way cool.


Austin visits Arnold Schwarzeneggar's house to get some lifting advice but apparently he was in California working on Governor stuff.

Day 4- We pack a picnic and head up over the Sawtooth Mountains. My family is very tolerant to my roadside stops as I photograph God's Country. Never before have I experienced air so fresh and country so wild. My only regret is not seeing the famous wolves of the area.


Seriously folks! No stopping means no stopping. Tough on this photographer. I missed many a photo because of those silly avalanches.





Hot waterfalls empty into frigid rivers making for nice warm little pools.



Galena Summit: You used to be able to rent a log to attach to the back of your vehicle when conditions were icey. Slowed your decent supposedly. I had all sorts ideas about how my log would find a way to pass me on the way down. EEk






A Fixer Upper with complete with Potty. You think I am kidding? My kids will know where to find me, I just need to get Jim to see the investment opportunity.






Sadly no wolves in Stanley...no people either.





Why we drive slow in Idaho:

Sleeping Barn


Incredible area called Kirkham.

My first photo of the day: Sunrise on the 45th parallel.

Day 3- Back to Brundage:)




























Brundage Mountain. Ok, cross snowboarding off of my bucket list. I think making it halfway down Easy Street is sufficient.
































Austin learns the fine art of "Ax Throwing". Just another reason to DUCK! on our trip.











I stop to take photos of the beautiful Payette River and the air fills with white cannon balls. A battle that started at first glimpse of snow and continued through out the trip:)
