We left Cody, WY to enter Yellowstone through the East entrance. We drove, what is called the Grand Loop. I never realized how big the park is; we drove over 150 mile in the park. The landscape and wildlife are incredible. You need at least a week to see the highlights. Peter took the picture of the bull elk from about 30 feet away. He could have gotten closer but the signs in the park remind you that these are wild animals and several tourists are injured or killed by the wildlife each year. While eating lunch on the Snake River, a bison was less than 100 yards from us on the other side rolling in the dust. It is amazing here. We left the park after 8:00PM through the South entrance into Grand Teton National Park, where we camped for the night.
I had forgotten how many stars are in the sky! The night sky was amazing without the lights from the strip malls and car dealerships.
We got on the road by 9:00AM and drove towards Vegas. On the way we stopped in Jackson Wyoming to say hi to a friend of mine and get some lunch. We also drove through Preston, ID (home of Napoleon Dynamite). Peter was going to get his hair cut at “The Cuttin’ Coral”, but it was closed.
From there we made it as far as Salt Lake City. We should make it to Las Vegas by this evening.
