Arrive at Yellowstone


We made it! Yellowstone National Park!

Here we are crossing the gate into the park.
Oh boy, more construction. Up the moutains on dirt roads without guardrails.

Here is our Airstream all settled in at Yellowstone.

Big Horn National Park

After visiting Devils Tower we stopped for lunch.

Found a really great Food and Gifts spot run by the local Crow Indians.

Then up Big Horn which was one switch-back after another that went on forever. Once we reached the top we were at an elevation of 8,347 feet.

What goes up must come down. The curves and the steep grade were one thing, but having to deal with the local herds didn't help either.

And boy does it go down.

At the bottom we found Shell Creek which was pretty cool.

And we are spending the night at Graybull KOA. Graybull got it's name from an albino buffalo which the Indians kept Sacred.

Devils Tower

Devils Tower from the distance as we approach.

Here we are with the Airstream getting to the Natural Monument.
The first National Monument.

No matter how hard we looked we found no Aliens!

A really great gift shop open at 7:00 AM with fresh coffee.
