    Default 1700 miles and one grizzly

    I got up the gumption to take a 1700 mile trike trip with my cousin Darrell that included Yellowstone park in Wyoming, Montana's wise river and into the Idaho panhandle before heading to Pocatello to see mom.

    The entire trip was so smoky my oxygen machine got a hell of a work out and although I'm not in the best of condition we camped out the entire way.

    There is a new motorcycle campground outside Wapiti Wyoming (30 miles from park entrance and an equal distance from Cody, Wyoming) called "wheels of wonderment" that is very nicely set up for bikers with great accommodations including cabins if you wish. Camp sites are $20.00 per night.

    the shower facility even has a free massage chair for end of the day relaxing.

    the owners are very friendly and Pete offers guided trips over Chief Joseph highway and is a motorcycle enthusiast in his own right.

    Darrell and I needed no guide as we have been here many times.

    Backtracking to Cody, Wyoming allows us to go over Chief Joseph highway and brought us to the road going over the bear tooth highway into Montana.

    The smoke was so thick up there we wouldn't have been able to see much so we decided to pass on the beartooth and enter into the park through Cooke city.

    That was a disappointment as the Chief Joseph and the beartooth highway are one of the premier rides in the country.

    Chief Joseph highway.

    As you can see it is a winding road and helps feed my need for the high country.

    We made our way around the park taking two days to enjoy all it attractions.

    This is Mammoth hot springs.

    You can see the way the sediments from the springs have created a world of wonder?

    My main reason for going was my need to see the grand canyon of the Yellowstone's again before I kick the bucket.

    I always find this sight life affirming, It's natural wonder and beauty always revives my soul.

    Canyon below the falls at Yellowstone.

    trust me this a very deep canyon and the colors it creates on the canyon walls are breathtaking.

    This is nature at it's finest.

    The falls from the southern canyon rim.

    The Yellowstone river runs through Hayden valley in a sedate manner and you would never imagine that it suddenly becomes a behemoth and tumbles thousands of feet into a chasm, The noise can be deafening, The river becomes a raging monster and one of the most inspiring sights you will ever see.

    Southern rim.

    As I said the river runs very sedately and there is a bridge that allows you to cross above the falls to the northern rim.

    Default more 1700 miles

    A shot as close as I could get to the head of the falls, Watching it is mesmerizing and can leave you weak at the knees.

    This is the devils mouth in Hayden valley, The temperature of the water makes this cavern surge as if it is breathing.

    Somewhere in Hayden valley

    Hayden Valley close to lake Yellowstone is an area where wildlife viewing is a certainty. I guarantee herds of bison, perhaps elk, wolves and the place where I have seen the most grizzly bear presence over the years.

    There was a bull bison killed in the rut on the edge of the Yellowstone river and there was a boar grizzly feeding on the carcass.

    my physical condition didn't allow me to get anywhere near range to take a photo but I could prop my cane on a guardrail for a good look through my binoculars.

    This boar grizzly was huge and seeing it on the carcass for comparison drove home it's size.

    I watched some Asian tourist get a might to close before a ranger hauled him back, I was beginning to wonder if I was going to see a mauling?

    I really don't understand some people, That bear will kill him and it's going to hurt the entire time he is dying.

    With my binoculars I could see a couple wolves along the tree line awaiting their turn at feeding.

    Way Kewl Paul .. sorry you didn't get all out of it you hoped, but, also glad you got to see the canyon once more. It is breathtaking and always brings a smile to my heart as well.

    Be well my friend.

    Sounds like the 2 of you had a fun trip Paul.

    I'm also a bit jealous, as I'm no longer able to physically "camp" in a tent out in nature. Enjoyed my fair share as a youngster though, so all is not lost.

    Glad you got the opportunity to do the trip, and thanks for the pics!
