Rocky Mountains

We actually drove by a section of the Rockies today.... on the way to Yellowstone NP and the Grand Tetons !! Our cut-thru was closed due to snow, so we drove from the refuge into Montana, down to Virginia City and over to Yellowstone.... only a 200 mile shortcut !!!! Still lots of snow on the ground, temps ranged from 19 to 51 degrees. Had only ONE minor issue.... even tho everything we read & heard said Yellowstone was OPEN...... NOT !!! Got there and the entrance was still snowed in. Only cyclists were being allowed entry. Oh well, it was a great drive.... and when the shortcut is open.... it's only an hour and 45 minutes away !! So, we'll go back.
