Back In the US, Back In The US, Back In The US Of A!

We left Hyder and are beginning our trip back to the lower 48 and Yellowstone National Park. We will pass through Jasper National Park in Prince George, British Columbia and Banff National Park in Calgary, Alberta. Even though it is the end of August, we are still seeing snow on the mountain tops. We are also still seeing bears on the side of the road. Our lunch stop was at 6750'.

Once we arrived in the USA, the country became less mountainous with more rolling hills in Montana. We entered Yellowstone in Montana and within 2 miles, the Park became part of Wyoming.

One day, on our way to watch Old Faithful erupt, we saw an 8 point bull elk and his harem near the roadside.

Another day, we watched buffalo taking a steam bath in one of the many geysers.

When the bath was finished, a huge bull buffalo acted as a school crossing guard and stopped traffic to walk his herd cross the road. He and his buddy also blocked the cars so they could not move until the herd had crossed.



Continued tomorrow....
