Saturday. This morning I decided not to cook since everything is wet and it is cold, so we went to find breakfast. After much searching we found a little cafe. There really are not a lot of options around Henry Lake. After breakfast we Packed up camp and hit the road around 1030. It is still chilly, but the sun is shining today. The temperature this morning is 50. We Headed south on Highway 20 and then went east on 47 which is the Mesa Falls scenic byway. We just happened upon this route because of a "point of interest" sign. We went first to the upper Mesa falls and visited the ranger's station which is a cool old log house which was once a stop for early settlers. It was a nice hike to the viewing platform for the falls and they were magnificent! The platform put us right at he point where the falls fell! (Pics)

Next on the route was the lower Falls. The were beautiful as well! (Pic). Next on the route was a place on the Warm River that had a fish feeding platform. A young local couple was there with their little girl and they gave us some bread to feed the fish. It was cool to watch those trout grab the bread. The byway showed a side trip into Yellowstone. What?! We had never heard of an entrance in this area! We had to try it out!
The road to Cave Falls in YNP turned out to be an 18 mile gravel road to a remote access to Yellowstone National Park. The drive was very rough, but Phillip handled it like a pro. Keep in mind that we are pulling a trailer! The drive was through fields of beautiful wildflowers. (Pics) There was a viewing place for the falls. Although not the tallest falls we've seen, they are the widest in Yellowstone. The mosquitoes were very thick and huge at this location. This was a gorgeous drive with all the wildflowers.

Completed the scenic bywayand continued on to Driggs. From Driggs we went on to Victor Idaho to spend the night. Went out to eat barbecue and then rode our bikes around a nearby neighborhood. The neighborhood had some pretty houses and an irrigation channel like they had in Billings.

The ride from Cave Falls to Driggs was a beautiful drive through farmland with rolling green hills. A sign indicated that they grow seed potatoes in this area. The cave Falls is on the Falls River.
