If there's one place that I'd really like to go back.. it's Yellowstone... The place is exquisite... The moment we arrived at Yellowstone, I was amazed how nature can paint and carve such kind of sight. The mountains, geysers, landscapes, streams together with the animals are just picture perfect! We just drove to Wyoming from Salt Lake. It was a good thing that one of us is very good in reading road maps.. so going to Yellowstone wasn't that difficult for us. We were able to go to Yellowstone because we made one of our friends promise that before we go [View Full Entry]

On Monday, the 14th, we got up to find a buffalo in our campground at Custer. I guess the rangers call him Fred. Some nice neighbors volunteered to take our picture if we wanted to stand by him, I declined that offer! Today we went to see Mt. Rushmore. Just the drive there from Custer State Park on 16 is an experience. There were 3 tunnels the end of each framed Mt Rushmore. There was a spiral on part of the road that wound up, or down depending if you were coming or going, just like a spiral staircase. The monument [View Full Entry]

WEEK FOUR: TELLURIDE (and SAWPIT), CO TO HELENA , MT             Tuesday, June 16 Leaving Kate and Nathan to finish their garden and fencing on the ranch was not easy especially since, for the first time in a week, it was bright, sunny and warm!  When we arrived last week we drove down Last Dollar Road in the dark.  This time, in full sun and clear blue skies, we enjoyed the yellow dandelions, blues of the wild iris, lupine and larkspur and soft corn silk wildflowers that dusted the rugged landscape framed by the snow capped mountain range surrounding us. Free-range [View Full Entry]

Every day in Yellowstone is a new experience even if you have been there before. The trip in from the west entrance took us once again along the Gibson River beside the Grand Loop drive. Today there were fly fishermen in the river and lots of elk on the opposite bank. We knew immediately that there was wildlife to be seen because of the number of cars. People are nuts. They stop in the middle of the road, pull off at an angle, jump out leaving car doors open and a whole lot of other crazy antics to get a photograph [View Full Entry]

We had spent a week in Yellowstone at the end of September 4 years ago and I was anxious to see it again because it is my favourite of all the national parks. They are all beautiful and all very different but Yellowstone has it all, mountains, plains, desert area, geysers, hot springs, canyons, waterfalls and so much wildlife. Today we would revisit many of the sites that we'd seen four years ago. First was a ride along Firehole Canyon Rd. It's a lovely drive in a canyon beside the Gibson River and has a great waterfall along the way. Then [View Full Entry]

What a day!!!! I left before 9 AM to go into the park. It was a breezy 33 degrees when I rolled in and found about 5 elk beside the river and one of them in it. About 2 miles later I finally found my bison. There is not an animal that symbolizes the West more than a bison. I was really glad to finally get a good look at one. I would end up following one down the road later on in the day. Here it was just meandering down the road in my lane. That kind of thing happens [View Full Entry]

Today we headed for Yellowstone by way of the Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway. It was well named because it was truly scenic. Our first stop was at the Buffalo Bill dam. Buffalo Bill Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Shoshone River. The dam is named after the famous old West figure William "Buffalo Bill" Cody who founded the nearby town of Cody and who owned much of the land now covered by the reservoir formed by the dam. The dam was part of the Shoshone Project, one of the first projects overseen by the Bureau of Reclamation and [View Full Entry]

Yellowstone and one Grand Tetons shot. The first shot here is a long range view of the Grand Tetons. I only drove through and stopped briefly for some pictures. I simply did not have time to explore this area well and the scenery was really gorgeous. I literally saw the buffalo (bison) roam :). Off the side of the road. But I just drove through this area and entered Yellowstone through the south entrance. As I've said again and again, I needed much more time in this park. Yellowstone is HUGE. I only had time for such a small portion of [View Full Entry]
