Monday was a 12 hour day spent in Yellowstone Park. We were able to get a pass into Lamar Valley as it is closed at the Northeast Entrance. They are limiting the amount of traffic while they repair roads. The pass only gave us access from Tower Junction to Slough Creek. That was enough for us to get photos of bison, antelope, this eagle and the beauty of of the park. Here is a link to a map and video of the damage to the roads within the park from the floods in June.
For those who are into numbers, I drove a total of 1,222 miles and averaged 29.8 miles to the gallon. And, for those who are into plays, we were able to see the musical Bright Star at a theater in West Yellowstone called The Play Mill Theatre on Saturday evening. One heck of a play!

You packed a lot of sightseeing into your trip! Lovely eagle!

Yes, and one reason I was exhausted when I got home. More to come.

If you only get one day in Yellowstone, best to make it a long and good one! I wouldn’t have thought of seeing a play there but it sounds like it was worth it.

I suppose the theatre holds 100 people so it is small and intimate. It’s not broadway but absolutely enjoyable. They did a wonderful job with it.
