JUNE 2016 
The Busy Season Begins!


My trip with my sister and niece this year was a joy. So much exploring to do in Olympic National Park in Washington State's Olympic Peninsula! I really hope to make this a regular destination for Dodge Guides.


Cape Flattery is the farthest NW corner of the contiguous United States. 
It is located on the Makah Reservation.




My niece Maisie and her friend Nina reenacting that famous scene from Titanic. Ah, what nature inspires!!






After an awesome trip with family it was back to my backyard, Yellowstone National Park. My clients were three men who have been friends for decades. Good guys who plan to vacation every year together! We were lucky to catch a glimpse of many park critters. The Lamar Valley was crowded with hundreds of Bison and their new calves, fondly referred to as little red dogs. The twilight hours were great for spotting bull elk with their felt-like antlers. We even had a rare sighting of the nocturnal porcupine.



Dinner at the Old Faithful Inn is always special. Just take a look at the log dining room!



The lobby of the Old Faithful Inn is awe inspiring. The chimney also serves as a clock tower. 



Breath taking view of the Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon area of Yellowstone.



Geothermal features are constantly changing the Yellowstone landscape.



My clients and I wrapped up our trip by driving through the Tetons to Jackson, WY. 
These peaks are true marvels of the west!
