After our 3 night stay in Glacier ( Part 1, Part 2) we made the 6 hour drive to Island Park. We had a wonderful rental overlooking Henry's Lake. It was in a great location for us and the girls loved it!
We were only 20 miles from West Yellowstone. I was nervous about the drive there then once we got into the park, but honestly, it was not bad. As long as you enter the park early, you avoid the bumper to bumper traffic and you are able to get parking into the pull-offs along the way. When we left the park that afternoon, it was stand still traffic. Those poor people. I will do a separate post on Yellowstone.
Two must see spots in Island Park everyone needs to visit, Big Springs and Mesa Falls. Two very beautiful areas!
We went to Big Springs in hopes to feed trout in the clearest water I have ever seen, but sadly there were no trout. The girls had fun feeding the birds! We took the beautiful trail to Johnny Sack's cabin. The cabin was stunning and incredible the he built the cabin himself. It was in a nice spot, too.
Mesa Falls is breathtaking. There was a beautiful rainbow over the falls. We couldn't have asked for a better day!
If you are visiting Yellowstone, I highly recommend adding these two stops. Thank you Island Park for being so incredibly beautiful!
