We're back home, so I finally have some computer time.
You all were right. Yellowstone was amazing! We spent three days there & could have used a couple more. If everything was open & I was physically capable of seeing most of it, we'd need at least a week. Rather than staying in the park, we split our nights between Gardiner & West Yellowstone. Gardiner was full of Elk. One night, after dinner, we saw one cross the street perfectly centered in a crosswalk.
Obviously, they're very well trained.
Gardiner & West Yellowstone were very different experiences. We're glad we decided to split our time in that area between them.
Bozeman was a great, walking town. It's in the top 5 of favorite towns/small cities we've visited. We'd highly recommend it for the dining scene alone.
Our other stops were Butte, Virginia City, Nevada City (wasn't open), Livingston(didn't see much of) & Bannack State Park.
I won't bore you with a full trip report, but I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone may have. I know I still owe you some pictures. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out how to post some now that I have more time.
