On July 9, 2019, my brother and I hiked to Cascade Creek in Yellowstone National Park. This hike was a five mile long round trip. It was beautiful. We were with about ten other people. The path to Cascade Creek was constantly going up and down, twisting and turning through a dense pine forest. Eventually, we exited the trees and started off through a level meadow. My shoes were covered with mud by the time we reached the creek, which looked more like a huge lake. The plain must have been a marsh, or maybe it was because it had rained earlier in the day. The lake was spectacular. The water was glittering and pristine and it was protected by trees, hills, and mountains on three sides. The fourth side was mostly the pine forest and meadow leading up to the lake. I was exhausted when we returned from the hike, but it was a good tired. It was a fun few hours with my brother and the other employees of Yellowstone National Park.
