After being on the road for 10 hours, we reached Wyoming at 2:42pm MST, Saturday, May 29th. We continued to drive through Wyoming, diverging from I-90 onto State Highway 14. By 6:30am we had reached Bighorn National Forest. We climbed 8,347 feet up into the Bighorn Mountains, where it was 32° and snowing. We saw a moose, a marmot, and mule deer; a large waterfall; many precarious cliffs; and lots of Sagebrush.

We then descended into the land between the Bighorns and Yellowstone, where we stopped in Greybull, WY for a hearty breakfast at the Uptown Cafe (Think small town Wyoming, Ma & Pop cafe, and cigarettes).

We passed through the Buffalo Bill State Park, and entered Yellowstone National Park around Noon through the East Entrance. Yellowstone is a land of steam and peculiarities. We saw lots of buffalo and some elk, many tourists from many states and Japan, and we missed watching Old Faithful explode by about 45 seconds (we actually saw it shooting over the trees from the parking lot). It was about 2:30pm when we were at Old Faithful, and we were just to tired, from all the driving, to wait the approximated 90 minutes until the next eruption. We took some video of it steaming though, which we’ll post at some point.

After Old Faithful, we spent some time at the Grand Prismatic Spring. We felt like we were on another planet.

After spending about 4 hours in the park, we were exhausted, and ready for food, a bath, and bed. We left through the West entrance and drove North about 2 hours to Bozeman, Montana. After we checked into the hotel, we ate some excellent, handmade pizza from Audrey’s Pizza Oven. If you are ever in Bozeman, you should check them out; their Great Northwestern Bread is fabulous. And then… we crashed.
