Made it back to Montana. Took a rather scenic route too. Instead of heading north out of West Yellowstone and hitting the interstate at Bozeman we drove through the park and spent the night at the Indian Creek campground. It was about 2200h when we got there and just about all the campsites were full. We ended up staying in a pull-through RV site. Ever wonder why they have so many problems with bears in the park? When we woke up we found soda bottles and fast food trash in the fire ring and pet food scattered all over the ground. Some people just don't get it. The next 3-4 hours of driving were some of the prettiest in the country. After exiting the park at Silver Gate we took the Beartooth Highway through the Beartooths and headed north at Red Lodge. That drive is just amazing. It never gets old. The picture on the left is of the Snake River at Twin Falls, Idaho and the one near the bottom is near Beartooth pass at about 12,000 ft. I've been dying to do a little off trail exploration for a couple weeks up on the Beartooth plateau since I was up there last summer. Hundreds of pristine alpine lakes and not many people.
