I used to ride horses on this ranch near the Buffalo River in Island Park, Idaho. Every summer we would go on trail rides from Elk Creek to Buffalo River near our cabin. They still rent out cabins on this little lake, if someone really likes the old rustic feeling. This is where we took photos of my grandsons, while at the cabin. I took one of my all-time favorite photos right near here, but it was in the winter, just after a storm. The lighting was ideal on the heavy snow, that shows the main old lodge.
