West Yellowstone, MT

Our drive from Billings to West Yellowstone was a very nice one. From Bozeman to West Yellowstone, you follow the Gallatin River. The drive is beautiful and like the Yellowstone River, it is flowing at more than full capacity. We saw some rafters on the river and as fast as the water is going, I don't think I would want to be in a rubber raft bouncing down the river. I know, some people would think it was great fun. That is why I like to kayak on flat water - no guts.

We stopped at a turn out along the Gallatin River to have lunch and a photo opportunity. Beautiful scenery!

We pulled into the Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park about 1:3o p.m. After getting settled in, we just kicked back to enjoy ourselves. The park is very nice with decent sized sites, patios, picnic tables, and friendly staff.

Below is a picture of the evening sky. We had a "bit" of rain/hail but neither lasted very long. It did provide us with a beautiful sky and cool temperatures. We had to pull the comforter out from under the bed because it was going to be a cool night.
Tomorrow, a tour of Yellowstone. We haven't been to the park since June of 1990.
