Check it off our bucket list. ✅
Friday, Yesterday was Yellowstone National Park Day. The park and Old Faithful did not disappoint.
We drove and entered the park from West Yellowstone and left the park on a different route, North through Gardiner, MT to get a different perspective. Unfortunately, we did not see any Bears or wild cats, but we saw Bison, Elk, and a Bald Eagle chick in its nest.
We will let the images and videos speak for themselves.

Videos
Here are a few videos we took during the day. We cannot express in pictures the enormity and beauty of this park, but hopefully, the videos will show more and give you a better understanding of the park’s scale.
This video contains views of the park, including driving, and ends with Rafting, Kayaking, and, would you believe it, Body Boarding on the Yellowstone River.
Today, Saturday
Today was a short drive to Billings, MT. As this was a short drive, we took the scenic route again. Karen did some of the early driving had had to stop for Prong Horn Antilopes (and if I am wrong, we can blame Marc, my brother-in-law) wanting to cross the road. The antilopes then posed for us to shoot them, with a camera. It is a good job I was armed with a camera as later, we came across some young guys shooting onto farmland!
During our travels we have seen many signs on this road trip stating Wildlife or Game crossing the road, and to our disappointment, nothing has been seen until today. 😀
Again the vistas are superb up here and change around every corner. We also had fun driving at 70 MPH (Legally) on some back roads.
Tomorrow
Sunday, we are heading to Deadwood for a day of R&R and some laundry.
