I'm amazed by many things that we get paid to do, but today it just happened to be hiking. I went on an adventure to Prairie Trail during my plan time because I had NO IDEA what ANY of the flowers were and I have to lead a guided hike tomorrow. Oops. I'm going to upload all the plants in a special prairie entry so it can be at least semi-educational.
But as I was exploring I narrowly evaded a thunderstorm by about 10 minutes. Good thing I got bored and realized my work day was done so I hurried the last part of the trail. I caught some great glimpses of the clouds/storm over various parts of the southern end of the park, so I'll put those down below!
Update:
The hike went "hikingly"?! There was definitely no swimming. Before we hiked we took a detour onto Fisherman Flats because the bison herd was out. The family of 5 I had REALLY enjoyed that, and let's be honest, so did I. I can pretend to be sick of the bison, but it's still neat to be caught in the middle of the herd and just watch them.
And I must be doing my job because I got a $10 tip! Of course we have to put it in the donation box for the Visitor's Center, but hey, the gesture still counts!
