Yellowstone to Zion

We are still here after 16 days on the road and over 4,000 miles. The past few days we have been without access to internet, and have had limited cell service. Since Saturday we have continued to travel south through the western portion of Yellowstone staying Saturday night at the Old Faithful Lodge. Actually we stayed in a rather rustic cabin near the lodge. Had dinner at the Inn and saw Old Faithful erupt right on schedule....

From there we left Yellowstone by way of the west thumb and headed toward Jackson Hole and the Grand Teton National Park. We crossed the Continental Divide as we left Yellowstone, and as the road wound it's way down the mountain we would cross it at least 4 more times.

We continue to see motorcycles, however as we travel farther from Sturgis it seems that we are more the exception than the norm on the highways. We had dinner at Bubba's BBQ and when we ordered drinks we found it was BYOB... so we found drinks at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson. Next day we took a relaxing float down the Snake River where we learned some history of the area, we have forgotten most of it already.

Next two days were spent riding to Zion in Southern Utah. The trip was uneventful except for downtown Salt Lake, lots of traffic. This afternoon we took a short hike here in the park. We will be here for 3 days, hiking and resting before beginning our trip home on Saturday.
