Yellowstone to Dillon, Montana

Hi All,

Here's the map that shows what this post covers. Yes, there was some backtracking.

As I mentioned before, while in Yellowstone we took a drive down through Grand Teton National Park. The Teton Range is only 40 miles long but there are some really impressive peaks there.

After our day in the Tetons and a bit more time in Yellowstone, on August 15th we moved on to Cody, Wyoming, staying at Buffalo Bill State Park for three nights. We really liked Cody. We met some of the nicest people there. Here are a couple of pictures I took from our campground.

From Cody we drove back through Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Jackson, Wyoming to Palisades, Idaho. We stayed there one night before moving on to our final destination, Dillon, Montana where we met our friends Kent, Heather and Heather's dad David. We used a campground outside Dillon in order to stage for our eclipse viewing. We all got to Dillon on Saturday so Sunday we took some time to go to Bannack State Park and tour the ghost town there. There are some real neat buildings and we learned a lot about gold mining.

Sunday afternoon Kent and I played golf at a 10 hole (no, that's not a typo) golf course in Dillon. We had a blast but I discovered that laying off  for 2 years hasn't improved my game.

Monday was all about the eclipse. I'll leave that for the next post.  Suffice it to say it was one of the most incredible experiences in my life. Do yourself a favor and start planning now to be in Texas on April 8, 2024.

Take care,
Brian
