On Saturday Pat and I started out in Sheridan Mt. We were hoping to push through to Billings the night before, but got ended up staying in Sheridan after stopping for dinner at a dinner named after a lynching, Hangman's 5.
Either way. We pushed off out of Sheridan in the morning, a little later that what we hoped for, but it was nice to actually get a great sleep. We were indecisive about whether or not to just push all the way through to Seattle on 90 or to make a side track trip through Yellowstone. Glacier national park was our initial plan, but after the trip was taking longer than assumed and glacier was just unreachable.
We did end up deciding to head through Yellowstone, and that was a wonderful decision. We got of 90 in Laurel Mt and pushed west on highway 212. If you ever have a chance I highly recommend taking highway 212 west from Laurel, it is an amazing sub alpine road that peaks out at around 11,000 feet before plunging back down the mountains towards Yellowstone. We stayed on 212 through Yellowstone, then up 89 and met back up with 90 on the West side of Yellowstone at the small town of Livingston. It is a great stretch of road if you have extra time and want something much more scenic than I90 West.
We were in a pretty big hurry so we couldn't stop and take to many photos or hike in Yellowstone. I drove through, so Pat has most of the photos from the trip through the park. His blog is listed on the right named 'There was jello in the fingerprints.'
So here are just a few of the 212 highway and Yellowstone.
