Next we headed to Emigrant, Montana by way of Idaho Falls. Lots of driving, but OMG it is incredibly beautiful country – a soothing balm for the weary soul.
We stayed for a long weekend in the teeny, tiny town of Emigrant which has about six commercial buildings and boasts a total population of 372. You may ask “Why?”, so let me explain – a 1/2 hour drive to Yellowstone National Park – AWESOME!!!
We actually went straight to the park before Emigrant. It was a long drive from Boise, and we didn’t arrive at the park until almost 4:00 PM, but we were on a mission so we pushed on.
The 30 mile trek from the West Entrance to our desired location took us nearly 2 hours. About half way to our destination we encountered a long line of cars stopped on the road. We grumbled loudly and wondered what in the heck was going on. Once we had inched our way near the front of the line we found out – bison!
In this case there were six or seven of them who kept wandering back and forth across the road – pretty cool! We would encounter this often throughout our visit.
We eventually made it to our first stop, Old Faithful!!!! We watched a wonderful video, wandered around the Visitors Center for a while
and then, at the appointed time, made our way to the viewing platform. Although there were several teases and false starts, the actual event was Spectacular!
So awesome!!!!!!!
Tired but inspired we headed for Emigrant.
A lovely home away from home for the next few days.
