When we left for our trip, we were very excited. When we first got there, many people were begging for food. We set up a tent right by a river called Snake River. At night the weather got really cold, but during the day it was nice for a summer day. There were so many bears it was crazy; some of them would even come into our camp site and steal our food. We had to keep the dog chained up because it would try and scare away the bears. There was a spring that shot water into the air about thirty- five feet up into the air it was cool, the part that amazed me though was that it went of on the hour every hour. We stayed three days it is an amazing place every body should see it at least once in their lives.
