JC while your in the Yellowstone area if you have never taken the trip from the north entrance of Yellowstone to Livingston if is a beautiful drive or ride
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion. Yes, we rode out that way one year when we rode up to Victoria, British Columbia after we left Sturgis and it is a very nice ride as is most of the northwest.
We rode out to Roosevelt Arch (north entrance) today and then back in and around past Tower Junction. Had an elk cow walk right in front of us (maybe 15 feet) just as we were riding up the grade back in to Mammoth Hot Springs. And then between Mammoth and Tower Junction I saw a bear down in a meadow digging for something that allowed time to stop and take pics and in another 5 miles a mamma bear and three of her cubs in a grassy creek headwater. I'll get photos downloaded and posted in the next couple of days. We also saw a coyote and a wolf early this morning within half hour of entering the park but my camera was still in the tour pack at that point. Lot's of critters out this time of year.
