First Day of Spring

Last week, in less-than-dramatic fashion (unlike last year), the ice breaking on the Little Missouri River exactly coincided with the first day of spring!  By the time the town woke up last Saturday, the river was flowing again and large chunks of ice had made their way onto the riverbanks.

The weather was wonderful too!  A quick drive up into the park proved that we weren't the only ones happy about the return of spring.  We saw three beavers swimming happily upstream and swear that some of the grass is starting to turn green already (hard to tell).  Enjoy these visions of spring from the top of Wind Canyon!
