It was a great drive over Hwy 12. I don't recall traveling on this road before but Chris says I have! It was a very pretty drive. There was a lot of snow, but the roads were bare. The trip was longer than we expected...about three hours, but everyone did great. Not that the boys wouldn't. They are good travelers. As we continued on, we watched the temperature drop and drop and drop. When we finally made it to the feeding station, it was 7 degrees!
It was an amazing site. To see so many elk in one spot was just breathtaking. There were some huge bulls with large racks among the hundreds of cows. We spent as much time as we could outside looking at them before heading into the ranger station and checking things out in there. (Where is was warm!) If it wasn't so darn cold, we would have stayed and gone out on the trucks that take people out into the middle of the elk. That would have been something! And the boys would have loved it.
After our visit, we continued on through Naches and up around the canyon to Ellensburg for lunch. We were all starving and lunch was yummy. We finally continued on to I-90 and home over Snoqualmie Pass. The traffic to get to the ski area was crazy. I was glad we were going the other way!
Enjoying every moment.
