15. Wyoming

Spent Sept 7th and 8th in Gros Ventre Campground, just South of Grand Tetons National Monument. Used my scooter to drive around the park and see the really nice mountains, wildlife and scenery. Also visited the ski area and rode the gondola to the top of the mountain.

Two days later, drove 1 hour North into Yellowstone National Park where I stayed three nights at the expensive Fishing Bridge RV campground. Used the scooter to drive about 100 miles each day around the vast park double driving loop. Saw lots of geyers, pools, bison, and really nice scenery. Definitely one of the best parks I have been to.

Sad to leave Yellowstone, but drove 2 hours East to Cody, Wyoming. Was not going to go to the Cody museum, but as it was a rainy day decided to, and glad I did. Four museums in one, each of them really interesting and very well done.

Afternoon, continued to drive Eastward and stayed overnight in a small state park in the town of Ranchester, WY.  Next day, drove the rest of the way through Wyoming and visited Devils Tower National Monument, where I did two hikes.

 Can you spot the climber?
Spent the night on the Eastern edge of Wyoming in the town of Sundance, where the Sundance Kid got his name. Next morning, Sept, 14th, drove into South Dakota.
