| French Canyon Waterfall |
Today we had 35 hikers that joined us on one of the most popular hikes in the park. We stayed close to the Lodge and Visitor Center. At 9:00a.m. the sky was overcast but the temperature was comfortable. In the early afternoon we started to have some snow flurries.

| Not sure what bird lost this feather. The feather is quite large for the birds I could think of. Maybe it was a feather from a migrating bird? Northern Flicker- Thanks Andrew |

| On the way into French Canyon, there are some tell tale signs of the Spring Wildflower Dutchman's Britches. This sample had a few buds coming up. We must be patient! Spring will get here in it's own time. |

| Waiting in the "short line" to get into French Canyon. Today there was more water than I had anticipated. If you would come on a weekend, the line would be much longer. |
 |
| More water in the outbound stream than I had anticipated. Waddle in and waddle out. One foot on each side. |
 |
| French Canyon was just a beauty today! |
