I only ended up spending a couple days in Yellowstone National Park itself, but the entire area is beautiful and fascinating. (And cold at night and in the morning!) After I left the park, I drove over the Beartooth Pass, which Charles Kuralt called “the most beautiful drive in America”. I am not sure if I can agree with that judgment, but that’s mostly because visibility was low with a lot of rain in the lower altitudes, and yes, I got snowed on near the top…on August 14th. After the Beartooth Pass, my 100 miles on I-90 to Bozeman was actually the longest stretch of Interstate that I’ve driven on the entire trip. Luckily it was through the mountains and actually pretty nice!
