We rode 50+ miles in Yellowstone, from Lewis Lake to Canyon Village. Due to the cold, we didn't do a lot of sightseeing, but we did stop for a brief visit to a thermal area and made a short side trip to the brink of the upper falls of the Yellowstone River.
Wildlife sightings included several elk and bison. The Hayden Valley was particularly beautiful , but some vicious crosswinds kept our eyes mostly on the road and the traffic.
All in all, the ride in the cold and snow was pretty good. We are dressed for it, we didn't get wet, and we were at our destination in time for lunch! And for another major milestone, we crossed the Continental Divide. Can the Atlantic be far away? (Yes)
If you think the Hayden Valley was good for wildlife, wait 'til you get to the Lamar Valley. You might even see some wolves there.
