Sunday Drive to Mesa and Cave Falls

Heather and I went out for a Sunday drive down through Yellowstone and Targhee national forests while listening to Johnny Cash’s greatest hits collection along the way.

We stopped at Cave Falls and took a couple of pictures. It was a pretty neat waterfall because you could get into the cave and look right up into the falling water. We’ll probably end up going back to the area next summer to hike up to some of the other eight waterfalls in the area.

After Cave Falls, we headed up towards Lower and Upper Mesa Falls. We’ve been there before, but by the time we got there it was too dark to see much. There was another time that we had attempted it, but the roads were blocked off to normal traffic because they were not maintained past a certain point so that the snowmobiles could ride on them. So, we finally made it which felt pretty good. We took in as much scenery as we could and then headed back home for the day and finished it up with a movie and snacks.

As always, we hope you enjoy the photos and video!
