April Squares: Snowy Range
Today’s square top is still in the USA, but from a different trip – in 2016 we visited Wyoming and Colorado. It’s also John’s turn to be in the spotlight! Here he is feeling on top of the world on our first hike in Wyoming’s Snowy Range.

It’s nice when folks that come from abroad actually take the time to “see” America. Sometimes I feel like the world only views the U.S. as being NYC, LA, and Vegas. There is SO much more to us than that!

I know, I feel the same about Scotland which is often just seen as Edinburgh and the Highlands. I like the lesser known places and we have probably seen parts of the US that most Americans haven’t!

Me too, Anabel. That’s why we have spent so much time in Aberdeenshire recently. Gotta see it before everyone else discovers how beautiful it is!

Hikes up in the high alpine are my favourite!

Likely breathtaking views, again, Anabel. One of your comments speaks volumes on how you wish you would have had more time there. Thank you for sharing.

I feel that in so many places. Can hardly remember any where we thought “hmm, booked too many nights here”.

That looks very rugged. Was there a walking path or did you just have to find your way?
LikeLike
No, there was a good path but at this saddle it was very rocky with the various paths leading off from it. We went back the way we came – the alternative would have been climbing the ridge and walk-in along the top of it. No way!

I’ve probably driven through, but don’t think I’ve ever done any hiking around there. Nice view and good to see John!

We thought it was lovely. It’s always a gamble planning a route from 1000s of miles away but usually we end up wishing we had longer everywhere we go, and this was no exception.

I love road trips across the US. There really is so much to see and do, especially here in the west.

That looks like one dangerous place to break one’s ankle! You have been to some very interesting places. Yellowstone was the next park on my list if we ever got back to the USA bit doubt that we will now that OH has retired fully so no more conferences as an excuse.

Having broken two bones in my foot on a previous excursion I can assure you we are both super careful! I think if you ever get the chance you should go to Yellowstone. It really is as spectacular as it looks in the pictures.

Maybe I can persuade my daughter to accompany me now her kids are older. She could do some of the driving too.

I’m lucky, I can leave the driving to John. He liked it, I don’t.

I’ve not been to Wyoming – but it sounds like an interesting place to visit.

It is a lovely place to visit. Yellowstone is the pinnacle of course, but lots of less well-known places too, like this one.

Good to see John…nice pic. I loved Wyoming; such a beautiful place.

It is! Somewhere I would definitely go back to explore.

Bet that was one great holiday. It’s a part of the USA I never managed to visit, to be honest I haven’t seen a lot of it, just the very touristy bits like Chicago, Louisiana, N.Y., LA, Vegas and Seattle, having been seduced by S.E. Asia very early on in our travels. Your pictures really capture the place.

Yes it was! Our end goal was Yellowstone but we quickly realised how much more there was to it.
