Thank god we don’t have to get back on the bikes today. For the first time in this trip my legs are totally gone, just numb and distant.
We got a nice breakfast and headed into the west entrance of the park. Great luck. Within the first 12 miles we see elk at a little distance, bison at a similar distance and then encounter a young elk crossing a road, wandering into a stream and basically posing for our cameras. Great stuff. We also passed a steep mountainside that had just had a huge rock slide, with dust billowing up all over. From there we drive into the fields of geysers which are other-worldly, we do the classic Yellowstone Old Faithful thing and then drive down to Grand Teton National Park which is very high on Judith’s list. The views of the mountains with snow and glaciers are really something. It’s amazing that it’s 80 degrees where we’re standing, the mountains are quite close and yet snow covered. American Alps.
We don’t see any more wildlife of significance but the drive back is beautiful, we had a nice dinner and settled in for the night.
