Travel Blog ~ Brownlee, Idaho 2016

Last weekend we took a quick (and I mean quick, we weren't even gone 24 hours) trip to Brownlee Reservoir. The weather was perfect and we had a really nice time taking in the sights and enjoying some time on the water.

Brownlee Reservoir is located in the Hells Canyon area here in Idaho. The reservoir separates Idaho and Oregon and is 57 miles long. It is a popular place for fisherman and water enthusiasts to go. The water is always smooth and it is deep. Our depth gauge in our boat showed that in places it was 277 feet deep! And the reservoir isn't even full yet!

We found our campsite, got situated, and then we sat outside by our fire pit and enjoyed this view. We had a beautiful cotton candy cloud sunset, it was so pretty! We sat around until midnight talking and listening to the frogs and crickets sing. I just love where I live.

The next morning when we woke up we enjoyed the view while we ate breakfast. I loved the different colors of the canyon. Everything was still green and pretty.

Then we took a 2 hour boat ride down the canyon and back. We saw some beautiful scenery and enjoyed the smooth water.

We loaded up the boat and then found a gorgeous place to park and eat lunch. The colors were so pretty!

The beautiful wildflowers were blooming everywhere this time of year! So of course, I had to take a few pictures ;)

After Alan pulled me away from my photography trance, we headed out and were back home before we knew it. And even though it was a fast trip, it was still a lot of fun getting away for awhile.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a sweet and lovely day :)
