Sunny but Windy

So, today is not cold or rainy. We are excited about that.

Today we are going to go on a bike ride along the greenway in St. Anthony. There are two sides. The north side is better for hiking. The trail follows along the north side of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River. It is beautiful. We always see some kind of wildlife - otters, birds (air and water), chipmunks, squirrels, and the occasional moose. There are stairs that can take you right down to the water's edge. Bring a snack to eat along the way. The river is high so be very careful.

We are taking the trail that follows the south side of the river. It is paved all the way. The hills, twists and turns make it a fast speedway for the bikes. We like to take a snack and a drink and then eat it on the foot bridge out to the river or eat it next to the pond where the benches are. Either way it is fun to ride there. It is only about a mile one way. Even the little guys can make it. Look for the bald eagles in the dead trees and the rock chuck families hiding behind the rocks. You will hear them before you see them.
