and my rear end is sore. I don’t think I’m made for long-distance motorcycle travel. But after three and a half days of traveling the area via two wheels rather than four, I’m convinced that motorcycle is the way to go.
On day three of dad’s Montana-Wyoming tour, we rode in to the Park from Cooke, went to Tower-Canyon-Norris-Madison-Old Faithful-Lake Yellowstone-Fishing Bridge, then out the East entrance and on to Cody and back to Cooke via the Chief Joseph Highway. It was another gorgeous day in Montana and Wyoming. Like always, here are some photos to prove it.
A spring (the name of which I’ve now forgotten) in the Midway Geyser Basin.
This guy thinks he’s pretty cool.
Lake Yellowstone
The Cody Reservoir
Like most things out here, ‘isolated showers’ in the mountains really do mean ‘isolated’.
Isolated showers also make for isolated rainbows!
The Chief Joseph Highway, taken from Dead Indian Pass. This is the road to Cody, WY that everyone in Cooke City travels to get groceries/supplies during the summer months. You finally start up the mountain switchbacks after nearly one hour of travel time, with thirty minutes left to go (a whole lot shorter than the 3 hour drive to Bozeman in the winter)!
Dad started his cross-country trip back to Minnesota on Thursday morning and has arrived home safely. Thanks for making the trip, dad!
Since he’s left I’ve fished and hiked and (naturally) have photos to prove it. Soon, soon.
