The drive to Yellowstone was beautiful. Green rolling mountains, blue skies, cool weather. As we got further up the mountain, the flurries started. Snow in June!! We got to our campsite late in the evening and there was at least six inches of snow on the ground. The group works very efficiently together and we set up camp quite quickly. The wet snow was also a big motivator. It it quite intense to go from the desert to snow.
We packed up early to head to our second campsite, where there was no snow on the ground! It snowed and rained the entire time at Yellowstone, but at least it never stuck to the ground at our campsite. We were able to stay pretty dry. We were not able to do as many of the hikes as we would have liked to because of the weather. We saw Old Faithful and hot springs. Bison and elk were very common in the park. As we were leaving, there was a bison walking down the center lane in the road. A female moose was spotted crossing the river.
On to our hotel in Missoula, then Glacier Park.
