Wilkerson Pass - Colorado

Parked at the Visitor's Center at Wilkerson Pass, CO

Didn't expect snow to this extent in early October. We were planning to drive on over the mountain and camp on the other side. Thought better of it and turned around at Wilkerson Pass, Colorado. Temperatures are uncharacteristically cold for Colorado. Apparently, it was about 90 degrees here last week.

Where we ended up - Cheyenne State Park, CO.

We decided to go back down to Colorado Springs area, and camped at Cheyenne State Park.

Leaving Yellowstone National Park

Leaving YNP was an adventure. There was snow and some ice on the ground, but there was no indication that any of the roads through the park were closed or particularly hazardous. I checked the YNP and the Wyoming DOT websites, and no road closings noted. In hindsight, I should have called the park hotline as well. Turns out that the south exit was indeed closed. After a 50 miles or so trip from north to south, we had to turn the rig around (quite the challenge) and back track some miles to find the west exit into Utah. Just thankful we made it safely out of the snow and ice. The truck really came through for us. Here is a VIDEO LINK of our drive through Yellowstone up to the point where we had to turn around.
