Day 3 of our vacation was a LONG day of driving. I do have to say the scenery through Montana was lovely. We knew were were heading towards even colder weather and snow...I did not pack appropriately, so we had to stop along the way to get snow gear....oops. In the middle of nowhere ville Sean ran into someone he knew at the store...so random.
We stayed at a cabin near Lake Hebgen. It was about a 15 minute drive to the nearest Yellowstone entrance. The views from our cabin were AMAZING! The lake was just stunning. Our cabin was a little log cabin and was perfect for our family. We all really liked it!
On our second day in the area we visited Yellowstone. We used the Gypsy Ap to navigate us around....I would highly recommend. I had a plan, but really didn't have a solid plan as the park is overwhelming, so this Ap was extremely helpful. It really gave us a lot of fun info about the park.
The weather was cold, windy, and snowy. We didn't have the best view of the geysers, but we did enjoy very small crowds. It was a really pretty drive through part of the park though!
Yellowstone is an interesting park. It covers a lot of ground and it is like you are in a different world if you just travel 30 minutes up the road. The weather changes depending on where you are it. It could be nice and sunny in the north area of the park and snowing in the south part of the park.
Another thing that I would highly recommend--if you ever want to visit is DO NOT go between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is a very popular area...and very people-y. We went the week before Memorial Day and the crowds seemed just right. A lot of the hotels and in park restaurants were still closed, but we brought our own food into the park, so it didn't matter to us.
Onto day 5 and much nice weather!
