One of my favorite places on Earth

Every year, on my way to the cabin in Central Montana, I pass through the Gallatin River Canyon. It is just North of West Yellowstone, and is one of my favorite places on Earth. You can't see the huge mountains to the East of the Canyon. All you see are green fields and gentle tree-capped mountains with occasional rock outcroppings. A river runs through it. I see people trout fishing and river rafting, but for the most part, it is quiet. I often stop, sit by the river, and play my guitar there. I'll attach a picture and say no more.

I'll see if I can find some other "angles." The horses in a previous post are from the same valley.

@CinnamonGrl I can close my eyes or keep them open. It does not matter.

It really is. And a photo can't quite capture the sound of the wind in the pines and the river babbling by.

It looks quiet and peaceful. We passed a beautiful deep blue lake on the way to Yellowstone. It was gorgeous. We don't have lakes that blue in the East.

@snowy22315 I'll have to do a little research to see exactly why they're so blue.

The lakes also tend to be a deep blue up in Glacier Park. I think it has to do with the "silt" that is in the water.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm pretty good at going to one of my "happy places" when I need to.

Exactly. I always wonder how long that renewal lasts for, though.

@CarolDM I wish I could just sit there. But I always have "miles to go before I sleep."

One of my favorite places on Earth is Crawford Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The tall mountains there are so beautiful! Awesome picture, Horse.

Yep. I always feel a deep sense of peace when I'm there. Even as I scan the meadows for bears.

I can see why you would sit there and play your guitar. It's picture postcard beautiful.

It is very pretty, pony... I'm not sure I'd stop just to play a bit on my guitar, though . Now, I might stop if I saw you sitting there playing your guitar... so I could try to dunk you once or twice. *really grinning at you*

Love the view. A small house hidden in the trees would be perfect. Gotta hide because of the view.
