From our wilderness trip. Close to the place where we pitched the tent.
Do you feel the tranquillity?

In the hinterland

 Yellowstone National Park, USA, August 2009

we did need a lot of stuff for 12 days hiking in the wilderness with two kids

My ABC Wednesday for H is hiking in the backcountry (which I would translate into German as Hinterland). That was so beautiful, so exhausting, so far away from everything, deep in the nature, just an awesome adventure. And we loved it.
More from my hiking stories.

Grizzly Lake

Grizzly Lake, Yellostone National Park, Wyoming, USA, August 2009

We camped at the backcountry campsite 1C2 one mile away from the lake. The end of a four days hike. Beautiful and wild.

Yellowstone backcountry camping

Where is the bush toilet? Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, August 2009

On the shore of Heart Lake the campsite 8J6. Such a beautiful place in the Yellowstone backcountry with a stream for drinking water close by.
A map you find here: Heart Lake Backcountry Campsites
 

campsite 8J6

We stayed here two nights (and it was our last camp at this 12 day / 11 nights hiking trip). What an incredible scenery with wonderful sunsets over Mt. Sheridan.


And there was Silence (a previous post) with the lake in different light.

I love this place. I love wilderness. And this hiking was one of the best adventure I've ever had.

Do you see the trees at the bottom of this huge dune, my son Andreas walked up to the top (nearly).


Linked to ABC Wednesday and yes, my last post for the letter N was from there too. The Namib Desert is a very special place, with overhelming nature.

Where the wolves howl

The very most end of the South Arm from Yellowstone Lake. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, August 2009

Yes, here it was.
I like to remember the night in our tent at our backcountry campsite 5L2. (Some hundred meters from the lake.)

We heard wolves holing!
Just incredibel. What a sound. No fear. Awesome. I loved it. Can't forget it. True wilderness.
It was summer. A cold night. We snuggled up all together in our thiny tent.

"We listened for a voice crying in the wilderness. And we heard the jubilation of wolves!"
