Montana, Big Sky Country. Land of cowboys, cattle and horses. Time to giddyup.
We left Billings, heading west to Bozeman then south on Hwy 191 to West Yellowstone. To get here we drove through the Gallatin National Forest and also Yellowstone National Park for a short while. There were signs warning us about bison on the roadway but unless they were driving in a car there weren't any. Bummer. Dad said he wanted to pet one and I would have liked to have seen that.

We are setting up camp just outside of town at a place on Hebgan Lake at the base of the Gravelly Mountains. Nice campsite but no bison here either.
West Yellowstone is right on the Montana/Wyoming border and is at the west entrance into Yellowstone Park, which is as close to the Park that I got. At least I got a picture of the sign. We then drove into town and checked it out and finally found bison. Of course they were all made of fiberglass or metal. Oh well, back to camp and marshmallow roasting and the placing of the final state sticker.
