Day 4 – June 25, 2019.
Parking Brake Off at 7:30 AM MDT Arrived Rexburg, ID 9:30 PM MDT.
We rode Beartooth Pass to the WY state line. At the point, the road was closed due to high winds and an icy road. Retraced our path back towards Cody and then turn off onto Chiek Joseph Scenic Byway to Cooke City and onto Yellowstone National Park via the North Entrance and out the West Gate. Encountered an 8-mile backup when leaving the park due to a herd of sleeping buffalo 500 yards off the road and a lot of stupid tourists trying to get a look at them. One enduring moment was when we spotted a baby buffalo cavorting all over the field by jumping up and down. I think it had just discovered his/her legs and was showing off to mom.
