Days 6 and 7-- To Yellowstone and on to Glacier

Yesterday, I left Greybull around 9:00am to head into Yellowstone National Park. The drive from Greybull to the entrance of Yellowstone is under 100 miles and I was able to complete that stretch in around 2 hours with a stop in Cody, which is very much a western town and tourist gateway to Yellowstone (didn't explore much--just stopped at Walgreens and for gas). Once entering the park and stopping at an overlook of Lake Yellowstone, my first stop was at the Bridge Bay Campground, which is where I spent last night. I stopped at the campground first because I realized it may be after dark when I get back to the campground. After setting up my campsite and grabbing lunch, I proceeded to do a big loop around the park, stopping at most, if not all, of the major areas (I did not see Old Faithful erupt although I did when I visited Yellowstone 10 years ago).

Yellowstone is a vast (I believe my loop, which did not cover all of the park, was well over 100 miles) and beautiful park that is a must see. I don't know how well my words can explain it, so I'll include some pictures from yesterday and today.

I left my campsite around 7:15am this morning and quickly stopped by some areas I missed in the park before heading out to Glacier National Park. I took US 191, which goes through Big Sky, which was a very pretty road, to just outside of Bozeman. From there, the scenery got much more dull on the interstates and US highways I took until just before I arrived in East Glacier. After arriving at my hostel in East Glacier, I went to the Two Medicine area in the park, which was spectacular.

I had dinner at a pizzeria (although I had sliders and fries), which was one of the few places to eat in East Glacier (the best regarded place, a Mexican restaurant, had a 45-minute wait). Tomorrow, it's on to see the rest of Glacier (probably won't get to Waterton Lakes, the Canadian side of Glacier, until Saturday morning).
