Home to West Yellowstone

We left bright and early this morning on a quick trip to Yellowstone and then back to Sun Valley on Friday for the Rotary District Conference. (I don't know what I was thinking when we planned this trip - its 250 miles back to Sun Valley, via the way we came!)

After breakfast at the Boise Stage truck stop, we took Rt 20 through Fairfield, then Rt 33 to Rexburg -  a much preferred route than I84. The weather was great and, of course, there is no traffic. Picnic lunch stop at Craters of the Moon.

Arrived West Yellowstone at about 5:30, checked into the Gray Wolf Inn (stayed here before) and had a nice dinner at The Branch (noted for having a restored railroad passenger coach inside). After dinner, we drove into the park just a little ways looking for wildlife - we found a pair of Bald Eagles up in a tree across the river. They are spectacular!

Returned back to the hotel to watch Mariners baseball.
