Does the picture above remind anyone else of The Beatles, Abbey Road? Today, September 6, 2023, is OUR LAST day in Yellowstone. The weather was perfect all day. We started off with jeans and sweatshirts, but at lunchtime switched into shorts. Almost there… Another fun eruption we caught…Turban Geyser Castle Geyser: Although I missed the… Continue reading Spectacular Day of Geysers and Bison

Yellowstone Bull Elk Jackpot !
September 5, 2023 – After dinner Barry and I set out on our mission to see a bull elk. We went to the Lake Village Hotel area. As we went down the road we saw these two. We stopped. The fawn’s spots were fading. Soon we realized there were two fawns! While these deer were… Continue reading Yellowstone Bull Elk Jackpot !
Yellowstone Sep 2, 2023 – Hayden Valley Sunrise, Bison, & So Much More
It is amazing how close these entire herds get to the roads (and use the roads). Sometimes though, you are watching a group, and then a few other bison come up around the other side of you. You always need to be alert. These bison really cover a lot of ground! This quick clip pans… Continue reading Yellowstone Sep 2, 2023 – Hayden Valley Sunrise, Bison, & So Much More
Yellowstone NP – A FLOOD of Childhood Memories + NEW Ones
September 1, 2023. We relocated from Yellowstone RV Park in Gardiner, MT to Fishing Bridge RV Park at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone NP. Above are a few pictures from our drive.

Fishing Bridge Visitor Center + Scenic Drive
FISHING BRIDGE VISITOR CENTER – Rain was due to start anytime so checking out the visitor center was the perfect activity to do since it was so close and of course totally indoors. Outside is the amphitheater the rangers use for educational presentations during the summer season. We briefly stopped by this visitor center yesterday,… Continue reading Fishing Bridge Visitor Center + Scenic Drive
Yellowstone Aug 31, 2023 – Lamar Valley for Wildlife
Today our goal was to see animals out in the Lamar Valley in the northeast section of the park, so we headed out at 6:00AM. SUCCESS!! Early morning was definitely best! We were surprised before we even got to the Lamar Valley. As we turned into Mammoth Hot Spring, there in the grassy median near… Continue reading Yellowstone Aug 31, 2023 – Lamar Valley for Wildlife
Yellowstone NP Day1 – Mammoth Hot Springs + Falls
We made it yesterday from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone in one day. A few views leaving Glacier. I had to quickly snap the next two picture to prove to Arlie that we really did pass through Arlee, Montana (an unincorporated community in MT). Of course they didn’t spell it correctly. LOL We planned to… Continue reading Yellowstone NP Day1 – Mammoth Hot Springs + Falls
Glacier NP – Easier Exploration
Today was our third and last day to explore Glacier National Park. We were NOT up for any long hike, but we felt we could tackle a couple easy and of course significantly shorter hikes today. I wore my Keen sport sandals with socks (and bandaids). My hiking shoes were not an option. Nor were… Continue reading Glacier NP – Easier Exploration
Relax & Recover
After our Highline Trail hike yesterday that took us 11 hours and 40 minutes to complete, and seriously tested our limitations. We took everything off our itinerary for today and replaced it with Relax and RECOVER. Serious hikers we are not. (Obviously!) We do enjoy hikes here and there to explore cool areas as we… Continue reading Relax & Recover
Glacier NP – A MAJOR Miscalculation!
Today was our first day exploring Glacier National Park. Since we’re fresh and ready to go we thought we should begin with the hike that interested us the most – the HIGHLINE TRAIL. We thought this hike was a doable, moderate hike – just long. We were so wrong. This was by far the hardest… Continue reading Glacier NP – A MAJOR Miscalculation!
