We stayed at a lovely RV park in West Yellowstone, Montana 5 minutes west of the entrance to the park. Nice to have a campground well maintained and other campers nearby. We were able to ride our tandem through the park and into town. We found the tourist area. Lots of souvenir and t-shirt shops and too many people. We were glad to get back to the serene campground after a few miles of looking around.
Yesterday we spent the whole day at Yellowstone. We had been there in the winter in the early 90’s where we rented snowmobiles with the kids and saw paint pots, fumaroles and Old Faithful. This time we went north, saw smaller geysers and odd land formations, the Canyons and vistas. But the thrill is to see the animals.
We entered the park at 9AM but were sitting in stopped traffic for an hour and a half. Why? Because the bison were in the road ahead and the rangers had to come (finally) and direct them off the road!
We were lucky to spot a black bear and so many bison!
Today we left West Yellowstone and headed north to Great Falls, Montana for the night. Every day has been so cool that we’ve been wearing jeans and sweatshirts. Finally when we arrived at the campground this afternoon we needed the AC. But now it’s raining and 58 degrees. I like that! On the highway today this is what it looked like… and what is that wide load that is being hauled? Maybe it’s one of the blades from those big windmills.
Tomorrow we’ll enter Alberta, Canada. If I don’t have wifi I won’t be able to blog. But I’ll be back just as soon as I am able.

Amazing pictures
Great pictures! Keep them coming❤️❤️
What a great adventure!
Absolutely breathtaking scenery! Love your photos and narration. What an amazing adventure!
Yup. That’s a wind turbine blade. Fred and I once watched a bunch of guys standing around scratching their heads trying to figure out how to get one of those blades through a 90 degree turn in Anthony, Kansas.

Wonderful photos!
Amazing pictures!!! Love following your travels
Awesome pics. Now we want to go to Yellowstone.
Great pictures, Deb. Yellowstone never disappoints with the wildlife. No fun getting caught in a traffic jam though. Those darn bison own the road out there! Travel On
Our country is really beautiful. Love the pictures
Glad you enjoyed Yellowstone. The geothermal features are incredible.
Fantastic pictures! I like Cannon Falls the best, no the bison, no the bear – heck I loved them all. Thanks for taking us along.
You probably heard that Yellowstone is closed now due to heavy flooding. So glad you saw it earlier!
Me too! Tragic to see the helicopter footage.
