Below the Surface
As a family, we love WSS. If I had to pick one last thing to do in this world, it would be soaking in those pools. It's my ultimate happy place. The water is simply magical.For about a decade now, it's been our go-to family getaway. But until last year, we had never really even scratched the surface of the area at large. We always went right to the hotel, checked in, and stayed at the hotel and pools until we left.
Lately, we've been exploring more, and this last trip was a great example of how underrated this part of Central Montana is. We camped out at a reservoir near WSS, about 20 minutes away up in the foothills, and we found this ropeswing, the highlight of our trip.

| Rose was super brave, and we would never have tried it w/o her motivation. She climbed right up the rope (she's so good at that), and was brave in the air. |

| Obviously, I was loving it. Kip, not so much. He still has some weird thing about water. |
