June 21, 2026 - Lander, Wyoming

 It's been three days since I last posted.  That's because we spent two nights in Yellowstone National Park and they had no wifi or cell service.  We stayed at the Canyon Lodge and Cabins.  The room was nice with no TV.  Susie had read ahead of time that the rooms had no coffee or breakfast food near the lodge so we went to a grocery store ahead of time and brought some basics with us including instant coffee that worked fine.

We rode the Beartooth Highway into the Park and it kind of blew us away.  The views were spectacular and the weather was great.  We reached just under 11,000 feet above sea level with temps in the low 40s.  We stopped several times and took some pictures.

We had a full two days in Yellowstone visiting the Upper Falls, Calcite cliff views of the Yellowstone River, and some of the bubbling mud flats with sulfer gas in the air.  We also saw Old Faithful blow her steam.

Today we drove from Yellowstone, through Teton National Park and into some beautiful rolling hills of Wyoming on the way to Lander.  It's been quite the three days.

Tomorrow we continue south towards Taos, New Mexico where we have two nights reserved.  Not sure where we will stay the next two night before Taos, we'll play it by ear.  Enjoy the pics below.

Soon after entering YNP we stopped for a bite and I ate this Bison Brat.  I tasted it for several days, but I would do it again.

This was the viewing area for Old Faithful geyser.  It was like a sporting event.
