Change of Plans

Had to change up the route just a bit due to snow and ice in mountains of Colorado. Interstate 70 west of Denver was getting heavy snow and ice with chain laws in effect. We decided it would be best to back track south, and then head west. We went back to San Luis Lakes Campground for one night. This place also got snow while we were in Littleton, but not enough to make for hazardous travel. We could tell that there was more snow on the mountain tops in the distance than when we were here ten days ago.

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.
