We have booked a day trip for today so we can relax a little and leave the RV parked up. We join a small group of people and head out for the day on a classic 70's Greyhound bus with a driver who knows all there is to know about the sights and smells of Yellowstone. First stop is the West Thumb Geyser Basin where we are told stories of fishermen hooking fish from Yellowstone Lake and cooking them in the hot springs without taking them off the hook. We follow the ...

The drive starts early, leaving Cody, the South Americans and the rodeo in our wake. We head east through Buffalo Bill State Park and on into the Bighorn Mountains. We wind slowly up and over the peak following the switchbacks all the way down into the canyon, through stunning scenery and along to the east entrance of Yellowstone. It's up again over the Sylvan Pass (8500ft) and into Fishing Bridge where we are staying for five nights. The RV park is not what we...

The journey across the mid west really brings home how vast this country is and how few people live here, we drive through towns with populations ranging from ten to a few thousand. It's another 200 or so miles today and the last 50 or so miles sees the landscape change from flat grassland to wrinkles that give an indication of the geological mayhem to come. We roll into Cody, definite frontier territo...

Moving on today from the Black Hills of South Dakota, we start the day right with breakfast at the Sylvan Lake Lodge and a short walk around the lake. It's a stunning place, rightly acknowledged as the jewel in the crown of the park. We start our drive to Yellowstone today, it's a fair distance so we've broken it down into chunks. The first leg takes us about 200 miles east to Buffalo where we have an overnight stop. The journey is across endless grassland punctu...

The van was cold this morning when we woke up. The temperature has dropped to low 60's since climbing up into the Rockies. Janice treated us all to cooked breakfast this morning as we have about three hundred miles to cover today so a good start to the day is in order. We drive back out of Redstone following the mountain road back to Glenwood, making our way back to the I70 heading for Denver. The road starts to climb steadily once past Vail, peaking at almost 1...
