This Must Be Paradise

Livingston, Montana

We went for a hike yesterday in Paradise Valley which lies between Livingston and Yellowstone National Park.

Paradise Valley is high in elevation at 5,000 feet, and it is flanked on one side by the Absaroka Mountains with peaks up to nearly 1 1,000 feet. The Yellowstone River winds through the valley and is famous for its fly fishing.
