Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery

This is our second time to this park, so we wanted to explore a bit outside of the park as well.  Today we hit Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery.  It took us about an hour to get there, down some seriously windy roads, but it was cool.  We got to see the itty bitty fish inside, and then there were just a few tanks outdoors with fish in them.  But the ranger let us feed the outdoor fish.  Cool!    
The fish just after we threw some food in their tank.  Holy cow were they excited to get some food!  If you planned it out right, you could actually get the fish to splash someone.  Ah, the simple pleasures!            
There's also a trail where you can hike and fish (if you've brought your gear, which we hadn't).  Such a nice, cool way to spend a day that was reaching towards 100.  We spent about three hours at the hatchery.  We ate our picnic lunch, spent time indoors and out with the fish, and then did just a small portion of the hike.  A very nice day!
