Our next adventure during the Summer of 2009 was the wind tunnels near Driggs, Idaho. We had to hike a LONG way. Ok so it wasn't that long, but to a newly pregnant, not too big of a hiker it was a long way. It was really pretty and nice to go into nature without seeing a snake.
I did not go inside of the Wind Tunnels themselves. Kenney was able to go in with Wes, our friend, and his wife's brother and sister. Mandy stayed out with me so I didn't have to sit there for 2 hours by myself. The opening of tunnels have a waterfall coming out that they had to cross before going inside. The opening itself was about 50ft tall. It got smaller and smaller inside, until there was a small opening where they could hear the freezing cold wind. Eventually, they made it to a big pit where people repel down and go to the ice caves. They didn't have any rope so they came back, and we hiked down the trail.
This is the opening of the tunnels, if you look close you can see the water at the bottom of the picture. It gets much bigger a little further down. The picture above has this big opening from a far off distance if you can see it. (It is almost centered, a little to the left and up)
