One quick stop as we head up to Glacier NP

Our route to Glacier National Park takes us north from here and we can’t resist a quick stop in Yellowstone.  We head north up the Rockefeller Memorial Parkway through the entire length of Teton National Park then into Yellowstone; first along Yellowstone Lake then the beautiful Yellowstone River valley.  Continuing north we pass through the Hayden Valley before turning west toward our next stop, West Yellowstone.  Along the way, we spot one small herd of bison while still in the Tetons and a number of solitary bulls dotting open grasslands in both of the parks. A small band of cow elk bring on a traffic jamb as they are feeding along the Madison River just east of our destination.  They brought the park rangers out to move things along.  We settle in at Baker’s Hole Campground along 191 in Custer Gallatin National Forest.  There are grizzly bear warnings out!
