Went to Yellowstone with Bob and Mary this weekend for a retreat. We left Saturday morning and drove to West Yellowstone the weather cooperated until we got to St. Anthony and it started to snow by the time we reached the top of Targhee Pass the roads were covered. One poor soul got 2 flat tires on the way up the pass. We asked if he needed help but he just waved us on. We arrived in West Yellowstone around 4 pm got in our rooms and went to dinner at Pete's Pizza it was a good pizza, talked with some local city council members who shared our table with us, that was interesting. We headed back to the hotel and got in the Hot tub for a bit and then down for the night.
Woke at 6 and got breakfast biscuits and gravy and then off to get our snowmobiles. We went with a group from Travelers station and Bron Hansen was our guide a local young man who guided there in the winter and flew scenic flights over the grand Canyon in the summer. He made it fun and had lots of home town information for us. We spent the day in the park. It was a blue bird day in the park with a fresh coat of snow on the trails. We did the lower loop to Old Faithful and back. Bron gave us a great tour through the park. We seen elk, eagles, trumpeter swans, and of course Bison up close and personal a couple times. Loads of fun. We got back to the hotel and went to sit in the hot tub but was late getting in there and they were full and didn't empty the entire night and no one was for giving up their spot. So we went to eat at the Three Bear Restaurant it was good, but like the old boys in the city council said "if we don't get you with the price of gas we will with the price of food".
Woke up Monday morning and got breakfast loaded up and headed for home. It wasn't nearly as nice of a day on the way out but by the time we reached St. Anthony it was clearing off. til next time keep smilin'!
