Day 15

Montana Saga - Day 15

Mimi says:

Our last day of sight-seeing before we head back to Billings to turn in our little gray Corolla and jump on the plane for SC. We began this day in Jackson Hole and headed up the road through Grand Teton National Park for a last peek (or peak)...except that the smoke from the 3 neighboring forest fires was covering those beautiful mountains and we could barely see them. Then up through the east side of Yellowstone National Park for a last look at the buffalo and antelope. Next on the list was the scenic Beartooth Hwy. That took us up a winding path to an elevation of about 9000 ft to what folks call "the top of the world"... and the view was fabulous! Our pictures cannot show the height and depth of what we were seeing. Once again...layers and layers of mountains. We made it to Red Lodge and decided to stay in that cute little town for our last evening. We had a steak dinner at the Carbon County Steakhouse and snagged a room at The Pollard Hotel.  It will only take an hour to drive to Billings tomorrow.

Neat moss.
 

Free range cattle.

  1. Beautiful pictures/scenery. Cute town. And a steak sounds about near PERFECT right now but I'm nannying, it's not even 4p.m., and there's no steak in sight. Rats!
