After two 72 mile days, we arrived wet and tired at West Yellowstone yesterday. The first day from Dillon to Ennis was not too bad, minus a cold, snowy, windy pass. But the view as we rode into Ennis was stunning! Yesterday was a mental and physical challenge! We rode uphill, into the rain and wind, for most of the day. And the scenery for the first 4o miles or so was less than inspiring. We were all saying how this could possibly be our cumulative worst day of the trip.
However, as we inched our way closer to W. Yellowstone, the scenery began to meet our expectations! We were lucky enough to see mountain goats, bighorn sheep and a young griz (see pix in separate post) before we even arrived at W. Yellowstone! A wildlife field day!
Today we ride into the park! Hopefully we'll have more animal and geyser pix to share with you soon! And if we don't spot any animals, perhaps we'll just smear honey on ourselves and wait and see what happens......

Good to hear you are all doing well. I remember talking to you at Price Chopper and telling you about our Yellowstone trip and now there you are. it's absolutely amazing. Grand Teton is pretty incredible too. Not sure you are going to hit there on your way. I would say it's the trip of a lifetime but you've never really been able to stay still so I know this is just one of many! Keep the kind at your back and the sun in your faces. Chris and Beth Moore
