I don’t know if I can take any more of these beautiful mornings.  They are almost too good to be true. We had a leisurely get up since we don’t have to beat the crowds into the park and we don’t have far to go today. Breakfast was half of the egg bites I bakedContinue reading “Day 24 | Bozeman, MT to Billings, MT”

This will be a short posting and no photos unless there is a decent sunset from our campsite outside of Bozeman, MT. We packed up from spending a few days in our rental unit with our friends and bid them a tearful farewell and safe journey home. The drive from West Yellowstone to Bozeman wasContinue reading “Day 23 | West Yellowstone to Bozeman”

Out early again to get into the park before the gate lineups start. Not as spectacular a morning without the frost. We are going to run the Lamar Valley again today. Hopefully we can get some landscape shots. I have given up on the animals. I will be quite happy with scenery. We stopped inContinue reading “Day 22 | Yellowstone, NP”

Out early this morning to beat the lineup at the West Gate. Pretty sunrise and a full moon. 7:03 and we are in the park! Hoping that this early we will see elk! (Later note… no elk). Today we are running the Hayden Valley between Canyon Village and Fishing Bridge.  The early morning cold andContinue reading “Day 21 | Yellowstone, NP”

Yesterday’s rain gave us snow on the mountains. It is cold and clear this morning. Hopefully I can get better views as we drive today. We move today from our shared unit with friends to West Yellowstone traveling in caravan. We have 4 nights there together as well. A stop at Jackson Lake dam showedContinue reading “Day 19 | Tetons to Yellowstone”

After the rain yesterday afternoon this morning looks a little wetter. It is incredibly dry here. Part of the park is an Elk Preserve and they should almost be in rut by now.  We usually see herds of them but haven’t spotted anything yet on this trip. Is it too warm/ dry and they haven’tContinue reading “Day 18 | Tetons, NP day 2”

We left our unit at 8 am in search of something to photograph.  Just around the corner, still in the village we found a moose cow and calf feeding. I thought I had a deer problem at home. I can’t imagine having moose in my backyard. Photos of mom and baby in my camera. TheyContinue reading “Day 17 | Grand Tetons, NP”

Today we are meeting our travel buddies in Jackson, WY for a week of photography. We have rental units in Wilson, WY and West Yellowstone. We will be using another vehicle so the van will be parked except for the one transition day.  Temps at night are below freezing so we spent an hour thisContinue reading “Day 16 | Wapiti campground to Jackson, WY via Yellowstone and Grand Tetons NPS”

Okay.. these magnificent views from our ‘bedroom’ window continue. This morning we had a beautiful sunrise… no getting up before dawn to chase sunrise miles. Magpies and starlings are early morning feeders. We have decided to go back to the Buffalo Bill Centre of the West in Cody and view the raptors. Entry allows twoContinue reading “Day 15 | Cody, WY to Shoshone National Forest”
