Yellowstone at night! Don’t miss it!

On day 12 of our roadtrip, we decided to try some sunset watching and star gazing in Yellowstone Park, and it did not disappoint! It was a cloudy night, so the star gazing was a bust, but the sunset and scenery were incredible. Jim spotted a buffalo and pulled over without telling me. I was looking at the road ahead, and when I turned and looked out my window, I screamed because the buffalo was right next to my window!

He was really calm, and we just “hung out” with him for a while.

We also had a beautiful buck run right out in front of us. Jim had to slam on the brakes and barely missed him. The buck ran off quickly totally scared, so I couldn’t get a picture of him. We also saw a coyote on the side of the road, just standing there, but there was a car behind us, so no pics of him either. 😫

All of the scenery was spectacular!

We spent the earlier portion of the day exploring West Yellowstone, Montana. It’s a cute town with a western flair, but very touristy. We had fun looking at the local items for sale at the shops. Huckleberry is grown locally, and they put it in everything. I tried a huckleberry coffee, and it was delicious.
