[QUOTE="Lee Deming, post: 2556054, member: 107264"] We are close enough to take day trips(long day trips) from our house into Yellowstone. Those on here that get annoyed at the traffic have to understand that tourists are going to stop and gawk at the critters. We call them 'bear jams' and we do what tourists do too, even though we have been there dozens of times. Yeah, it isn't a 'wilderness' experience-so what? You'll still see over 1,000 wild bison and some elk, deer, antelope, coyotes and maybe wolves and bears. All of these in the Lamar Valley. I second the advice on the Cody museum-it is well worth the trip if you can make it. Also, if you go that way you should be able to drive near the top of Beartooth Pass. It has to be the most beautiful road in the world. I don't know how far you can get up there but it is an easy diversion from the road to Cody. Since the North entrance is closed, the drive to and through Jackson is also worth it and the shops are fun. There used to be a whiskey shop that gave out samples. Just take your time and keep your eyes open driving anywhere near the Park as there are quite a few critters that most people will never otherwise see all around the the Park. If you can get up to the top of Beartooth Pass there are dozens of Mountain Goats that hang out near the road and you can gawk at them too. Good luck and have fun. Oh, and keep in mind that the elevation is high there so watch the weather. We got snowed on in the middle of July one year. [/QUOTE]
