We had decided our next stop was going to be either Island Park or a campground just outside Cooke City. Cooke City won. We drove from Trapper out to Belgrade/Bozeman to another Costco before heading to the Sinclair just outside Gardiner to dump, get water, propane and gas. We dro c e up the steep road to Mammoth and saw zero elk which is unusual. Crossed the Bridge which is one lane. We held our breath and squeezed through. Through the park to our campground missing a few bear sightings but seeing a black and cinnamon black bear on opposite sides of the road close to Baronette Peak. Got to our campground again around 6pm. We are friends with the hosts and they had made us dinner - how lovely!
Stayed for 6 nights. Saw several bears, wolves, pronghorn, deer, elk, coyotes, moose, bald eagles and just a few bison! Lots of babies this year.
The park was full of wildflowers and crazy tourists who thought it was acceptable to abandoned their cars on the road to go see a grizzly (4 cars in a row, caused chaos at 6:30am when no rangers are out).
We drove over the Beartooth Highway which still had pockets of snow. Popped into Red Lodge (it was pouring with rain) and then headed back up the Beartooth to visit with Donna and Mark (@tanglemoose ) - forgot to get photos!
Went to a talk about Wolverines which was kind of interesting.
