We leave the hotel early with a few things from the breakfast
buffet. As we drive north towards Yellowstone National Park, we notice definite
changes in the landscape. Arizona and southern Utah are highland desert, due to
the lack of rain. Large portions of the land are unproductive and grow mostly
sagebrush and cactus. That changes noticeably as we travel north. There are green
fields and cattle grazing in large, fairly level meadows. Snow covered mountains
are seen on all sides. We cruise up the interstate highway where the speed
limit is 80, and cars still pass us.
As we near the town of West Yellowstone, there is some rain
on the windshield, the first we have had on this trip. More rain is forecast
for tomorrow.
We arrive at our hotel in West Yellowstone about 3:30 pm, do some laundry in the motel laundry, and go to find our evening meal.
