West Yellowstone (35) to Great Falls (36)

This is a trip of about 450 kilometres and I’m expecting a variety of road conditions. As we left West Yellowstone, the one thing I didn’t expect to see after travelling about 30 kilometres is a sign stating “You are now entering Yellowstone National Park”.

The nightmare of our first encounter with Yellowstone towing the Sierra flooded back….what was this about to bring?? Very fortunately, “not much” was the answer as we gingerly negotiated the one-lane-each-way road. Not too narrow and very little traffic – thankfully.

The Rockies were ever present, mostly at a distance but sometimes through cuttings - nothing too dramatic at all, nevertheless, certainly not boring.

We had only planned to stay one night in Great Falls but discussed travelling into Canada and their possible restrictions with fruit and vegetables. As we had quite a bit of both, we decided to stay a second night, despite thoughts of the possible consequences of eating heaps of roughage when travelling, and pigged out on almost all we had – at least we had our own toilets behind us.
