Yellowstone
Wow - all I can say is that Yellowstone doesn't disappoint. The first day we camped outside the park in the late morning and spent the rest of the day in the park. We enjoyed the scenery and bear and elk and Old Faithful. That evening we found a great local Bar/Restaurant for Bill's birthday.
Second day in Yellowstone we went to Mammoth Hot Springs where we had reserved cabins. They were really great. Everywhere we drive, the scenery is just jaw dropping.
Okay - on the third day we spent the entire day driving and hiking the rest of the park. Waterfalls, fields of Bison, Elk in the main square as well as the fields, eagles,geysers, steam vents and it just goes on and on - amazing. We all really had a great day and lots of laughs and exercise. It was a little disconcerting when a Bison decided to walk on the road toward us in our lane but he got his act together and went over to the other lane so we could get by. Whew!
Sunday morning we pulled out of the Northeast exit and headed toward Cody Wyoming. We drove through some of the most impressive landscape of all. The Dead Indian Pass at 8000 ft was spectacular - it's the pass where the Nez Perce Indaians escaped the Cavalry the year after Custer's last stand. Just can't describe how big everything is here.
More pics to come later.
