March in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley.
Back to Yellowstone's Lamar Valley March 2010
Last month I went back to Lamar Valley for a spring trip. It was a bit to cold at night for camping so I stayed at the Super 8 Motel in Gardiner Montana just a half mile from the park's north entrance. As always this was another great trip. I didn't see any wolves on this trip but I did see a good sized grizzly bear that was willing to pose for a few pictures that I posted below. I was surprised to see the bull elk still had their antlers I thought they fell off in January, I guess I thought wrong. The warmer weather and the lack of snow on the ground seem to have put the bison in a rowdy mood they were playfully banging heads and taking dust baths all day long. I saw a lot more bison and much bigger herds on this trip then I saw on my last trip here at the end of December. Not much more I can say about my trips that I haven't said many time before. All the trips I have taken since I came to Montana have been awesome.

Cooke City Montana and Silver Gate Wyoming.
At the end of Lamar Valley just outside of Yellowstone Park on route 212 you go into a small town called Silver Gate Wyoming then into another small town, Cooke City Montana where the road ends in the winter, in the summer the road goes on to Red Lodge Montana. From Cooke City to Red Lodge the road is called The Beartooth Highway and considered by many to be the most scenic highway in this country. It travels sixty four miles through the Beartooth Mountain Range reaching elevations of over ten thousand feet.
