DAY 9 SHERIDAN TO YELLOWSTONE

Sitting at the computer in a West Yellowstone motel watching a light snow fall outside trying to figure out the best way to describe the day. It was another pretty incredible day of great riding with cooperative weather right up until the end.

This morning the map showed that route 14 would take us from Sheridan over to Yellowstone along a scenic route. The map also showed that alternate route 14 would take us to the same place in a longer fashion while traversing snow covered passes above the tree line, I guess you know which way we went. After lunch entered Yellowstone Park and decided to ride the southern loop over towards West Yellowstone Montana.

Yellowstone National Park was the first national park established in 1872 and covers 3,468 square miles! It is impossible to explore all aspects of the park in a lifetime much less a couple days. We did see hot springs, old faithful (from a distance) bison, deer, and foreign tourists. Will head back tomorrow weather permitting, 80's here earlier today now snow?
