Well, our hike did not happen last night…we had some rain roll through. We used the time to organize our stuff.
Early this morning, Flame and Terri took a ride up Beartooth Scenic Highway while the boys slept in. Charles Kuralt called it “the most scenic road in America” so we had to check it out. It only just opened on Sunday, due to an avalanche and heavy snows (normally opens Memorial Day). It was really beautiful, and worth the trip. There were guys snowmobiling on top – hard to believe its June 17! We started the day in Montana, went to Wyoming, and Montana, then Wyoming, then Montana, back to Wyoming, and are now camping in the Gallatin National Forest in…somewhere different…Montana! For a change of pace, tomorrow we’re thinking about going to Wyoming, then Idaho.
We went to Mammoth Hot Springs in the northern part of Yellowstone NP. Saw a coyote with her three cubs…it was so cute, they were right by the road! All of the animals we have seen really don’t seem to care at all that there are all these cars pulled over and cameras clicking. Guess they are used to it. Mammoth was really cool…like another planet. It was the hottest day we’ve had so far there – 80 degrees.After Mammoth, we drove to the northern entrance of Yellowstone – Gardiner, MT – then to our campsite in the forest (10 miles outside of Gardiner). Haven’t seen a human since we left Gardiner – very quiet here except for roaring water everywhere. Oh, and a few mule deer hangin' with us...check out the new pictures.
