The weather looked iffy. It was forecast to be nice but weathermen tend to be wrong. Turns out they were right today. It stayed cool and overcast all day. The hiking was lovely with us following the snake river for a few miles before breaking away before leaving Yellowstone. It was fun hopping across a river that I had floated before. The majority of the day was spent in beautiful river valleys. Just these wide open medows with rivers flowing down them. We did have one big climb of 2000 ft. But with the rest of the day being just a flat river hike it went by quickly.
The highlight of the day for me was the two oceans creek and the parting of the waters. The creek forms on the big mountain we climbed then flows down to a point where it gets split in half. Half the creek flows west to the Pacific and half flows east to the Atlantic. You can see the spot that the creek is physically divided into two. Beads and I each threw a stick in the creek and tried to guess which way it would go. We were both wrong, mine went to the Pacific hers went to the Atlantic, we had guessed the opposite.
