Yellowstone Sept 14, 2014

We had a 6:30 am flight out of Albany on Sunday morning headed west for Montana and Yellowstone.  The flights were uneventful and we arrived in Billings, MT right on schedule.  Our 4x4, which John got an amazing deal on, was waiting for us.  We headed to Wal-mart to provision and then had a quick bite of Mexican food before we headed to Gardiner 2.5 hours away.

On our way down we saw:

Hawks- 8

Eagles - 3 + 2 eagles fighting

Raven -1

Prong horn antelope-19

Mule deer - 4

Cranes. Flocks in flight & on the ground

Fly fisherman in the Yellowstone River. 

We got to the Absaroka Hotel, checked in, and immediately headed into the park!  The light was prefect and we were both anxious to see how Yellowstone would greet us.  We were not disappointed!

We got our park pass, a bargain at $25 for a whole week!

Buffalo, sheep, and sunsets were in the offing on that first night.

We got back and tried a restaurant called The Raven.  Food was good Cheri had bison bolognaise and John had wild coho salmon.

Enjoy!
