Daniel, Wyoming

Daniel, WY

We had a really fun time at the Warrens.  We arrived from Jackson Hole, and we stayed there for two days, both of which were full of spectacular and awesome activities and delicious dinners.  My highlights were learning how to throw knife, use a lariat and ride a galloping horse bare back! Riding a horse was really  fun, and while even being able to ride a camel and elephant in Dubai and Sri Lanka, I have to say, riding a horse is my favorite because you have so much control and can totally feel like a part of the horse.

Our hosts were Kevin and Amy who lived 7000 feet above sea level in Daniel, Wyoming.  The Dad, Kevin, has four horses and is a horse shoer by profession and a real cowboy, where as Amy is a teacher and an expert dinner maker.  They live on a relatively flat landscape but can see the Wind River Mountains in the distance and have a wide array of wildlife near them including wolves, pronghorn and lots of birds.  The second day we were where there, we went on a beautiful hike around a sparkling glacial lake in the green lakes region. Guarding the lakes and towering above us were massive mountains that must have been there for millions of years! And then, when we were at the end of the trail, we all took a dip in the freezing water and almost froze to death before jumping on the hottest rocks we could find.  Altogether, I was glad we went there. Thanks Kevin and Amy!
