Potato fields
We got up early and drove to the Bear Lake NWF. It’s not too far from the campground. It’s surrounded by mountains and the elevation ranges from 5,925 feet on the marsh to 6,800 feet on Merkley Mountain. It’s 18,000 acres that was established in 1968. We drove the driving loop and also walked quite a ways in on one of the trails. We saw lots of birds. There were California and Franklin Gulls making a lot of noise. Made me think of winter at the Texas coast!

We then drove into Paris and had lunch at a small antique store (sandwiches and chips). It was very good.
Then it was on to the Minnetonka Cave (Minnetonka means Running Water). We enjoyed the 90 minute tour. The cave is 40 degrees year-round!
