West Yellowstone Travel Blogs

All I can say is we are both tired of driving!!!  Last night in Wall, SD we had a bad lightning and thunderstorm, awesome light show with some pea size hail and a lot of wind. We got up at 5:00am and left by 6:00am. We stoped in Rapid City at McDonalds for a drive thru breakfast and …

When we got up this morning it was SNOWING!!!!  I resisted putting on all 3 pairs of thermal underwear that I had brought along and settled for just levis, sweatshirt and a jacket.  What do I know, I’m from Florida. . .. . It was in the 30’s and snowing all morning and I should …

We visited many pools at Yellowstone National park.  They are beautiful and mysterious. Many people were waiting for eruptions of geysers.  We saw many blue and green and yellow and red pools. We wanted to take a buth in some natural hot springs like in Japan.  We saw a man waiting f…

I couldn't let my kids down.  They wanted Bears in Yellowstone, so I would provide.  On our way into the park I remembered driving by the not-for-profit Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.  This is technically in the town of West Yellowstone, MT but Yellowstone is Yellowstone right?…

I drove with a friend for two months all around the country when I turned 18. We left with about $35.18.

My first 'big trip': 2 months through 10 states in the US of A. It was a great adventure, largely because of the fact that we didn't know what we were doing. This was before I had discovered the functionality of a Lonely Planet guidebook, so our trip was mainly planned using fly/drive itineraries. We managed though, and saw a lot of great stuff. For now it is just a map and a couple of recollections - I need to scan some photos

Road trip in the USA; RV and SUV through Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. 3 1/2 weeks of great fun on the road

It was another great morning, it’s nice falling asleep and waking with a smile, because you know it will be a good day. As I was heading to Pickles for breakfast I noticed the submarine conning tower for the USS Hawkbill SSN666. After being a submarine sailor, (Not submariner, that is a sub par m…
