Left Idaho Falls about 10:30 heading for Yellowstone. Arrived about 12:30. Huge line to get in but we bought the annual pass for the Grand Canyon so we were able to go thru the "express lane" and got thru much faster. The first thing we attempted was to see Old Faithful but there were so many people there we literally couldn't find a parking spot so we left. Traveled south around the park to the continental divide and then continued around to the east side for lunch at the park store. Went north from there to leave the park and ride the Bear Tooth Pass east of the Northeast entrance but as we got closer, we were climbing and it got colder and windy and started to rain. We finally decided it safer to abandon the attempt and go back south and leave the park via the east entrance. Then headed east on US14 to Cody, WY. Great ride thru the canyon. Stopped at a cafe in Cody to check weather and have a coffee to warm up as the whole day was in the fifties.
Left Cody about 8:00 to try to get a few more miles (our biggest mistake) and finally ended up in Worland, WY at a fleabag Super 8 motel for the night. Or should I say starling motel.
